Solid Space

Solid Space was a term coined by U.S.S. Enterprise helmsman Hikaru Sulu to describe a phenomenon the Enteprise encountered on Stardate 2135.9. Commander Spock theorized it to be related to the birth of a new universe that was 'leaking' into the existing universe.

The exact properties of the substance could not be described as its alien nature was governed by unknown laws of physics that defied any conventional scanning methods. It was capable of damaging part of the Enterprise's primary hull when the ship accidentally came in contact with it, the ship's deflectors being similar useless as the ship's sensors because of the material's make up.

The central body was approximately 300 light years in diameter.
