  • A spatial anomaly is a very broad term for any sort of extraordinary disruption in the space-time continuum. Often, they can take the form of irregularities in gravity, ripples in space that can damage equipment and personnel, alterations in the laws of physics, and areas of disruption inimical to the Human brain. The USS Enterprise-D once encountered a spatial anomaly, which turned out to be a multiphasic temporal convergence in the space-time continuum, caused by an eruption of anti-time. (TNG: "All Good Things..." )
  • A spatial anomaly was a thing in space that wasn't supposed to be there. It made it hard for ships to go. Sometimes, a ship in space would have to look for things to make it go. But then the ship would go, and everybody would be happy, at least until next week. The effects of Spatial Anomalies could be countered by insulating the hull with the compound Trellium D, this substance however might cause any and all Vulcans onboard to become overpowered with emotions and go murderously insane (ENT:Impulse).

  • A spatial anomaly is a very broad term for any sort of extraordinary disruption in the space-time continuum. Often, they can take the form of irregularities in gravity, ripples in space that can damage equipment and personnel, alterations in the laws of physics, and areas of disruption inimical to the Human brain. The Delphic Expanse was rife with such distortions, generated by massive spheres created by the Sphere-Builders, meant to reconfigure space to resemble the trans-dimensional realm from which the Sphere-Builders hailed. The Triannons referred to the anomalies as "the breath of the Makers". (ENT: "The Xindi", "Chosen Realm") The spatial anomalies in Star Trek: Enterprise were essentially the answer that the show's writers came up with as to why parts of the Delphic Expanse didn't adhere to the usual laws of physics. "When you say that in the Expanse the laws of physics don't apply in certain areas, what the hell does that mean? It's not that these anomalies just caused weirdness," remarked Brannon Braga. "What's cool about them is that they're actually part of a larger conspiracy, side effects of the Spheres reengineering this area of space to be habitable for the trans-dimensional aliens." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 151, pp. 27-28) The USS Enterprise-D once encountered a spatial anomaly, which turned out to be a multiphasic temporal convergence in the space-time continuum, caused by an eruption of anti-time. (TNG: "All Good Things..." ) In 2373, a spatial distortion field appeared around Harry Kim, after which it collapsed and he disappeared. (VOY: "Displaced") Another was encountered by the USS Voyager in the Delta Quadrant, and turned out to be a graviton ellipse: an extremely rare spatial anomaly that travels through subspace, emerging into normal space occasionally and without warning. (VOY: "One Small Step")
  • A spatial anomaly was a thing in space that wasn't supposed to be there. It made it hard for ships to go. Sometimes, a ship in space would have to look for things to make it go. But then the ship would go, and everybody would be happy, at least until next week. In 2153 the NX-01 was subjected to damaging anomalies within the Delphic Expanse (Space Pirates of the Expanse: Curse of the Big Sphere). These anomalies were later discovered to have been generated by enormous, millenia old Spheres as part of a plan orchestrated by the Sphere Builders to reconfigure the Expanse, making it a habitable region of space for their species, the prelude to an invasion stopped in the future by the Federation. The effects of Spatial Anomalies could be countered by insulating the hull with the compound Trellium D, this substance however might cause any and all Vulcans onboard to become overpowered with emotions and go murderously insane (ENT:Impulse). It could also be converted into a really cool drug like crack that mega-babe T'Pol got addicted to (Damage)
