Plasma Field Storm
A Plasma Field Storm is a spontaneous storm in which subspace particles manage to excite plasmatic particles into a high-energy state. This phenomenon is little understood, although it is clear that the level of excitation can vary significantly, even within a single storm front event.
These storms seem to be unique to Sector 6309 although there have been other unsubstantiated reports of such storms spawning in other regions beyond Federation Space. In 2414, the USS Rosenante encountered one such spontaneous spawning of a Plasma Field Storm. The storm measured over 20-Light Years long and 10-Light Years thick. The storm front progressed rapidly at a speed exceeding Warp 9.98
The impact with the storm dealt significant damage to the ship which was forced to seek a safe port for repairs. After relaying the data to Starfleet Command, the Rosenante was directed to the planets Kozan and Kozana.
While repairs were under way, the Rosenante crew enjoyed some Shore leave.
