The organisms were presented on planet Thanatos VII when a newly developed interphasic fusion process was used to build a warp core conduit, which inadvertently attracted the creatures. Being able to survive within the plasma conduit, the organisms infected the starship Enterprise when the device was installed. Besides attaching themselves to the crew and physically damaging the warp system, the organisms also emit an interphasic pulse which interfered with the workings of Data's positronic brain, causing him strange dreams and hallucinations. Fortunately, as they find out, the parasites can be destroyed by an interphasic pulse of high frequency.

- In 2370, the crew of the USS Enterprise became infested with these organisms, which arrived on board inside a new, recently installed warp plasma conduit. The conduit had been manufactured on Thanatos VII using a new interphasic fusion process, which drew the organisms to it. The organisms then lay dormant within the conduit until the Enterprise crew activated the warp core. The organisms impeded the functioning of the core by interrupting the plasma flow.

| - In 2370, the crew of the USS Enterprise became infested with these organisms, which arrived on board inside a new, recently installed warp plasma conduit. The conduit had been manufactured on Thanatos VII using a new interphasic fusion process, which drew the organisms to it. The organisms then lay dormant within the conduit until the Enterprise crew activated the warp core. The organisms impeded the functioning of the core by interrupting the plasma flow. The infestation would have eventually proved fatal to the Enterprise crew. Fortunately, Lieutenant Commander Data's positronic subprocessor detected a high-frequency interphasic signature from the organisms. Data's subconscious mind perceived the threat they posed, which manifested as disturbing symbolic imagery within Data's dreams. By directly accessing these dreams, Data determined that the organisms could be harmed by a high-frequency interphasic pulse. Commander Geordi La Forge modified Data's positronic subprocessor to emit the pulse, which successfully eliminated the creatures. (TNG: "Phantasms" )
