If required, it is possible for a starship to enter the rift by means of a brief high intensity warp pulse from the outside. This permits a two-minute approximation of warp speed once inside; the momentum can be consolidated by steering the ship on impulse power, and allows for the velocity required to escape the rift. But given the potential navigational dangers, and the inability to rely on sensors once within the rift, this is a very risky procedure. | If required, it is possible for a starship to enter the rift by means of a brief high intensity warp pulse from the outside.

Once caught within the distortion field, a skillful starship crew can maneuver their craft into a position to be able to | Once caught within the distortion field, a skillful starship crew can maneuver their craft into a position to be able to 'surf' the distortion waves. This can be achieved by phase matching the variance of the ship's deflector shields with the energy and mass of the distortion wave, and thus riding the wave back out into normal space until it dissipates. However, this is only an emergency procedure as it raises the stress factors on the hull beyond acceptable safety limits. | ||
The subspace breach can be avoided by traffic passing through the Hekaras Corridor, but scans have revealed that smaller subspace instabilities have also developed outside the rift. This being the case it was estimated that continued use of the engines would render the area impassable within 40 years. | The subspace breach can be avoided by traffic passing through the Hekaras Corridor, but scans have revealed that smaller subspace instabilities have also developed outside the rift.
