This is a term used for describing the effect of enclosing a starship or starbase (DS9: "The Emissary") in a subspace field.

There are several forms of subspace fields that can be created around a vessel: one such variation was used by Miles O'Brien to lower the intertial mass of Deep Space Nine, so that the station's thrusters could push the station towards the Bajoran wormhole faster, before Cardassian forces claimed it.

Another variation is a static warp shell. Where a warp shell is deployed around a vessel, but not used to push the vessel itself into warp speed. The USS Enterprise-D, in 3 different timelines, used such a field to repair a tear in anti-time in the Devron system. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
