Changes: Warp bubble

Revision as of 21:48, 23 September 2011

A warp bubble, also known as a static warp bubble or static warp field, is a type of subspace deformation. Some individuals, such as those native to the planet Tau Alpha C, are capable of manipulating warp bubbles with their minds.

In 2367, Ensign Wesley Crusher performed an experiment aboard the USS Enterprise-D, based on Kosinski's warp equations, wherein he created a warp bubble within the warp drive of the Enterprise. The bubble remained roughly stable at a field distortion level of 1,283 x 3,695 millicochranes. During the experiment, Wesley's mother, Doctor Beverly Crusher, became trapped inside the warp bubble. She was esentially caught in her own parallel universe, where her thoughts at the very moment she was trapped shaped her reality. As Dr. Crusher's thoughts were of losing old friends, her reality manifested itself as one where the crew of the Enterprise disappeared one by one, eventually leaving her alone.

Crusher implicated into vortex — Dr. Crusher caught in an atmospheric vortex.

As Wesley and the Enterprise crew attempted to retrieve Dr. Crusher before the bubble collapsed, they were visited by the Traveler, a Tau Alpha C inhabitant, who assisted Wesley in keeping the bubble stable long enough to create a threshold between both realities through which Dr. Crusher could escape. In the bubble, as Dr. Crusher began to realize what was happening, she encountered the threshold Wesley was creating, which manifested itself as a violent atmospheric vortex. As the bubble was on the verge of complete collapse, Dr. Crusher jumped through the vortex, returning to her own reality. (TNG: "Remember Me")

Trionic initiators in warp coils have been known to unintentionally produce warp bubbles and other subspace deformations when they are adjusted. Such initiators were used on the USS Hera. (TNG: "Interface")

-A '''warp [[bubble]]''' is a [[subspace]] phenomenon based on the principle of a [[warp field]]. Some individuals, such as those native to the [[planet]] [[Tau Alpha C]], are capable of manipulating warp bubbles with their minds. It is possible for an individual to become trapped within such a bubble, and the person's thoughts at the time would shape the creation of an entirely new [[universe]]. This new universe cannot be accessed easily, though the individual could leave with assistance from an exterior source. Escape from the bubble would depend on creating a stable threshold between the warp bubble and the normal universe, which would be experienced as a dynamic atmospheric disturbance of great intensity.

-In [[2367]], [[Ensign]] [[Wesley Crusher]] aboard the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} began experimenting with new warp field principles designed by [[Kosinski]]. He accidentally caused the warp bubble to expand beyond the ship's [[warp core]] and envelop his mother, [[Doctor]] [[Beverly Crusher]], within. Dr. Crusher's thoughts at the time created an [[alternate universe]] where everything and everyone began to disappear rapidly, with the warp bubble shrinking in size accordingly. Fortunately, she was able to deduce what was happening and with the help of [[the Traveler]], Wesley was able to create a means for Beverly to return to the proper universe before the warp bubble collapsed.
