Spatial anomaly

A spatial anomaly is a general term for any unusual disruption in the space-time continuum. They could be irregularities in gravity, ripples in space that could damage equipment and personnel, changes in the laws of physics, or disruptions harmful to the Human brain.
The Delphic Expanse was rife with such distortions, caused by massive spheres built by the Sphere-Builders to reconfigure space to resemble the trans-dimensional realm from which they hailed. The Triannons referred to the anomalies as "the breath of the Makers." ()
The 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. ()
In 2373, a spatial distortion field appeared around Harry Kim, after which it collapsed and he disappeared. ()
Another was encountered by the 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. ()
In 2401, a spatial anomaly appeared near the . It was preceded by subspace distortion, tachyon fluctuations, and a large spike in Hawking radiation. The anomaly subsequently emitted a massive burst of Adler-Lasky temporal radiation, before broadcasting a message in multiple languages asking for help from Admiral Jean-Luc Picard along with Article 15, an entreaty to join the Federation. After Picard arrived on the and responded, the emerged from the anomaly. ()
