Ok, the laws of physics state that nothing can move faster then light. because it would lead to non-locality and time travel. but the laws of physics would allow for something that by its nature always moves faster then light and has no other level of speed that it can ever attain.

Light takes a moment or two to reach its maximum speed by its nature (though that moment is so small that for us its literally instantaneous) but for tachyons there is no delay for it to reach maximum speed, as its always traveling faster then light. Thus its obeying the laws of physics by only moving at one speed and one speed only.
