A subspace sandbar is an area of space with subspace strength of zero rels - essentially, an area where creating a stable warp field is impossible. The earth starship Discovery was swept into a subspace sandbar in the Beta Quadrant by a strong warp current in January 2157. The USS Baldwin was swept into the same sandbar over 200 years later, in 2377. Baldwin was able to escape the sandbar with Discovery in tow, something that Discovery could not have done on its own.

- Voyager encountered this phenomenon in 2375, running aground of the subspace layer and subsequently experiencing a disruption of the ship's control systems due to gravimetric forces disrupting the ship's power flow. This had the effect of denying the crew access to their computer core, tactical systems, holodecks, and all but six replicators. Attempts to free Voyager from the sandbar by realigning the warp field, reversing hull polarity, and powering down the warp core and using minimal thrusters proved fruitless. It was soon discovered by the crew that the photonic lifeforms which inhabited the transdimensional realm had mistaken the holodeck character of Doctor Chaotica for an actual entity, due to the hologram's photonic nature, and had become engaged in an armed conflict.

| - Voyager encountered this phenomenon in 2375, running aground of the subspace layer and subsequently experiencing a disruption of the ship's control systems due to gravimetric forces disrupting the ship's power flow. This had the effect of denying the crew access to their computer core, tactical systems, holodecks, and all but six replicators. Attempts to free Voyager from the sandbar by realigning the warp field, reversing hull polarity, and powering down the warp core and using minimal thrusters proved fruitless. It was soon discovered by the crew that the photonic lifeforms which inhabited the transdimensional realm had mistaken the holodeck character of Doctor Chaotica for an actual entity, due to the hologram's photonic nature, and had become engaged in an armed conflict. Making contact with the lifeforms, the Voyager crew managed to negotiate a cease fire long enough to defeat Chaotica and end the battle. With Chaotica's defeat, the photonic lifeforms returned to their realm, closing the subspace distortions they were using to access normal space, subsequently allowing Voyager to cross the subspace barrier and escape.
