A subspace rift
A subspace rift is a type of subspace anomaly that forms when a region of space where the fabric of space itself is weakened and subjected to high levels of warp energy. Until 2370, the existence of a subspace rift was entirely theoretical and dismissed by the Federation Science Council due to the lack of evidence. Its existence was proven that year, albeit at the cost of a scientist's life.
The Enterprise-D encountered the first subspace rift formation in 2370 on a rescue mission to recover the USS Fleming in the Hekaras Corridor after Hekaran scientist Serova caused a warp core breach on her ship to prove her theories about subspace rift formation. (TNG: "Force of Nature")
In 2372, a subspace rupture formed as Suspiria left her native realm to board the USS Voyager. The rupture sealed when she retreated back into subspace. (VOY: "Cold Fire")

Apocrypha
- In the video game Star Trek: Invasion, it was discovered that before the invasion of the Klingon homeworld by the Hur'q, a powerful fleet of the Hur'q was sealed in a subspace rift. The rift was reopened in an attempt to have the Hur'q rule once again in 2375, but their plot was foiled by the USS Typhon.
