Tetryons are subatomic subspace particles that are highly energetic and unstable when in normal space. They are a navigational hazard to spacecraft and have numerous known adverse effects on sensors, warp engines, and other equipment.

The Shoals is known for its dense tetryon particles and emissions, resulting in the area of space locked to a strict warp speed and size limit.
