The interphase phenomenon has been described as a "flaw" in the fabric of space-time.[1] It is a pocket outside of known reality, and even provides a doorway to alternate universes.[2] Prior to 2211 in the FASA Timeline,[3] and 2269 in the Prime Timeline, such an area was only closely observed once, in an area on the fringes of Tholian space, by the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. At that time, the interphase area was in deep space, apparently a natural phenomenon.[1] In the FASA Timeline, it was believed by Star Fleet astrophysicists, however, that such an area could be created artificially by rapidly shifting gravitic and magnetic fields of great strength.[3] The U.S.S. Defiant NCC-1764 was transported via interphase into the Mirror Universe, as well as more than a century into the past.[2] The U.S.S. Hood NCC-1703 was also caught in an interphase rift in 2211 in the FASA Timeline, but was recovered when it reappeared nearly a year later.[3]
When in the close proximity of an interphase area, the synapses of the humanoid brain seemed to be subtly affected. Sensory distortion resulted after a time, leading eventually to madness, with the victim most often becoming violent—even homicidal. Drugs were developed that inhibited this effect, but these drugs would lose their effectiveness after a time. Within the actual interphase area itself, an object is caught between universes. Any use of large amounts of power (including the use of energy weapons and warp drives) disturbed the interphase area, and could cause objects to shift back and forth randomly between universes. Such objects could appear and disappear at random, or appear only as ghostly images.[1]
