It is suggested that charged tachyons of extremely large mass M could not only contribute to the dark matter needed to fit astrophysical observations, but could also provide an explanation for gamma ray bursts and ultra high energy cosmic rays. The present paper defines a quantum field theory of tachyons, the latter similar to ordinary leptons, but with momenta larger than energy.
