Subspace corridor

Enterprise enters a subspace corridor.

Underspace corridor

A subspace corridor in the Underspace.

A subspace corridor is a wormhole-like passage through subspace, which allows a starship to travel over great distances in a short time.

In the 22nd century, there was a subspace corridor in the Delphic Expanse, extending 11.6 light years, from a nebula controlled by the Kovaalans, to not far from the Xindi Council planet. In February of 2154, the Enterprise NX-01 entered this corridor in an attempt to quickly travel to the Council planet. However, due to battle damage sustained in combat with the Kovaalans, Enterprise's impulse manifold was damaged, causing the corridor to shift in time due to the particle wake produced by the ship. Enterprise emerged in the year 2037, and the crew quickly realized that, due to the corridor's one-way nature, there was no way for them to return to their own time. Enterprise became a generational ship, and the crew's descendants were eventually able to change history by intercepting their counterparts in 2154, and assisting them in making modifications which corrected the damage to the impulse manifold, allowing Enterprise to safely pass through the corridor without traveling back in time. (ENT: "")

There is a vast network of subspace corridors in the Delta Quadrant known as the Underspace. Until their defeat and near-annihilation in the 15th century, the Vaadwaur exploited them for economic and military purposes. The USS Voyager accidentally encountered the Underspace in 2376. (VOY: "Dragon's Teeth")

In 2377, Reginald Barclay speculated that a group of Ferengi may have found either a wormhole or a subspace corridor to bring Voyager to the Alpha Quadrant, before realizing that they were planning to utilize a geodesic fold. (VOY: "Inside Man")
