[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] The Hakaris (sp?) Corridor was the only navigable route through some region of space. A pair of scientists discovered that the extensive use of high warp over the same narrow strip of real estate was wearing the "barrier" between subspace and realspace dangerously thin. The more fanatical scientist proved his theory correct by flying his ship into the Corridor and blowing it up, thereby opening a subspace rift. For several episodes after that, the [i]Enterprise[/i] had to get Starfleet Command's permission to exceed warp 5 -- and it has to be a matter of extreme urgency. The explanation I came up with for why the idea was dropped is that Federation scientists, alerted to the problem, studied the phenomenon and concluded that in general high warp isn't a problem. It was only due to the unusual nature of warp travel in the Corridor (all ships passing over and over the same track) that space/time got worn thin. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
