A rentrillic trajectory was a type of navigational compensation for the random changes in physical constants inside a trimetric fracture.

Normal starship sensors weren't designed to compensate for the effects of chaotic space. A basic recalibration of the sensor grid used on the USS Voyager, allowed scanning up to a million kilometers. But even a farther range would not have allowed a ship to chart a course out.

It was possible to alter the warp field of a ship for a rentrillic trajectory to allow warp travel. Or alternatively to recalibrate the deflector dish to induce the paralateral rentrillic trajectory for the ship. Once activated at maximum amplitude, the sensor array routed throught the deflector could be used to plot a course out of a fracture for the ship to travel at impulse speeds.
