Microquasar
- Binary system consisting of black hole orbiting a star
- Black hole draws in stellar atmosphere, generating x-ray radiation, near-luminal jets of subatomic particles
- Intake of higher-density chunks of matter results in radiation surge that can endanger life across light years (TOS: "Galileo Seven"; TOS Novel: The Captain's Oath)
- Subspace topology around gravity well of microquasar can result in radiation tunneling into subspace, propagating at superluminal speeds and impacting nearby systems within days (TOS: "The Galileo Seven"; TOS Novel: The Captain's Oath)
- Starfleet vessels charged with inspection of all encountered microquasar phenomena as a result following Murasaki 274 incident, 2265 (TOS: "The Galileo Seven"; TOS Novel: The Captain's Oath)
- Subspace topology around gravity well of microquasar can result in radiation tunneling into subspace, propagating at superluminal speeds and impacting nearby systems within days (TOS: "The Galileo Seven"; TOS Novel: The Captain's Oath)
