Subspace (sometimes spelled sub-space) is an integral part of the universe, distinct from yet coexistent with normal space and its respective space-time continuum.
It has an infinite number of domains, and has been compared to a honeycomb with an infinite number of cells. These domains can also be called a subspace spectrum.


Subspace is the medium by which faster-than-light transit was possible. Warp travel utilized subspace to create a warp bubble for ships to safely traverse. Without subspace, warp travel would become impossible.

Subspace and normal space sometimes connected together in the form of space anomalies or subspace anomalies.


Tetryon particles are a subatomic particle which can only exist naturally in subspace.

  • If they are released into normal space, they exhibit erratic properties.
  • This can only occur when the fabric of subspace comes into contact with normal space in some manner.


Some species are indigenous to subspace.
