Subspace compression anomaly

Asubspace compression anomaly was a raresubspaceastronomicalphenomenon thatminiaturized objects that entered itsaccretion disk. These anomalies emitted aflux ofgamma radiation.

In2374,Starfleet ordered theUSSDefiant to investigate one such anomaly, in the hopes of collectingdata that could lead to the development oftranswarp corridors. TherunaboutUSSRubicon was lowered into the anomaly with atractor beam, where it shrank to a fraction of its normal size.

The mission was interrupted by aJem'Hadar ambush. Contrary to predictions, theRubicon did not return to normal size when it left the anomaly. After helping to defeat the Jem'Hadar in its miniaturized state, the runabout and its crew were restored to normal size by re-entering the anomaly along its previous course. (DS9: "One Little Ship")
