Subspace weapon

Subspace weapons are a class of directed energy weapons that affect subspace. These weapons were banned under the second Khitomer Accords due to their unpredictable nature. Among the effects that can occur as a result of these weapons are subspace tears.

Son'a vessels carried and used isolytic burst weapons, a type of subspace weapon. This was a direct violation of the treaty signed at the second Khitomer Accords. (Star Trek: Insurrection)


 * The Starfleet-manufactured tricobalt device could also technically be classed as a subspace weapon, as they are capable of creating a tear in subspace (VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy"). However, they were apparently not banned by the Khitomer Accords, suggesting that they are not, in fact, subspace weapons per se.
