Praxis exploding — The subspace shock wave produced by the destruction of Praxis

Voyager caught in a subspace shock wave

A subspace shock wave is a violent release of energy which travels at faster-than-light velocities, and which can be created by the destruction of large stellar bodies, such as a planet or a star.

In 2293, the destruction of the Klingon moon Praxis produced a subspace shock wave which caused severe damage to the Klingon homeworld's atmosphere, as well as the nearby USS Excelsior. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; VOY: "Flashback")

In 2372, Kira Nerys and Miles O'Brien detected elevated tachyon readings and subspace shock waves, created as byproducts of a cloaked Klingon ship exploding after having collided with a cloaked mine just outside of Bajoran space. (DS9: "Sons of Mogh")

In 2373, several subspace shock waves were generated as byproducts of the supernovae created by the civil war in the Q Continuum. These shock waves collapsed the USS Voyager's warp field, making it impossible for them to escape. (VOY: "The Q and the Grey")

-A '''subspace shock wave''' is a violent compressional wave caused by a massive [[energy]] discharge which travels through the medium of [[subspace]]. These phenomena are typically created by the destruction of large [[planet]]ary or [[star|stellar]] bodies.

-In [[2293]], a subspace [[shock wave]] was created from the explosion and partial destruction of the [[Klingon]] [[moon]], [[Praxis]]. The effects of the shock wave caused severe damage to [[Qo'noS]], as well as minor damage to the nearby [[USS Excelsior|USS ''Excelsior'']]. ({{film|6}}; {{VOY|Flashback}})
