| class="even" | Map of showing some of the spheres
|}
The '''Delphic Expanse spheres''' (or simply '''spheres''') were artificial objects the size of a small moon that were scattered around the [[Delphic Expanse]]. First detected by [[Captain]] [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jonathan_Archer Jonathan Archer]] and the crew of the [[Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'' NX-01]] in [[2153]], these machines were responsible for various [[Spatial anomaly|spatial anomalies]] throughout the Expanse and even for the existence of the [[thermobaric cloud]]s that defined the edge of the Expanse. According to the [[Xindi]], there were 78 spheres.
The spheres functioned by generating waves of [[Gravimetrics|gravimetric energy]]. Where waves from different spheres intersected, spatial anomalies were formed. These anomalies usually took the form of "ripples" in space that caused damage to mechanical systems and created localized distortions in gravity. Spheres were also surrounded by [[cloaking device|cloaking]] barriers that rendered them invisible to the outside world.
