The most general form of transformations of space-time coordinates in Special Theory of Relativity based solely on physical assumptions is described. Only the linearity of space-time transformations and the constancy of the speed of light are used as assumptions. The application to tachyonic motion is indicated.

Key words: Minkowski space-time, Lorentz transformations, tachyons, Maxwell equations
PACS: 11.10.Ef, 11.15.Kc
