空旷 (星际奇旅中的地区)
维基百科，自由的百科全书
空旷(The Void)是一个星际联邦的星际飞船“航海家号”在2375年第四象限发现的一个区域。空旷隐藏了很大一片的宇宙空间。它包含着几百光年的直径，而且有2000光年深。空旷里没有恒星和发光体。它也不让里面见到任何外界的光线。
当航海家号发现并被吸入这个空旷时，航海家号的全体工作人员面临了一个令人畏缩的2年的旅行来穿过这片区域。这使航海家号的全体工作人员以及他们的舰长的士气和重返地球的信心减低了不少， including increased reports of disciplinary problems, particularly disputes over holodeck reservations. However, this trip was cut short when the crew encountered a Malon garbage scow which showed them a wormhole that allowed the crew to take a shortcut to the other side of the region.

In the String Theory trilogy, it is revealed that the Void was caused by Voyager helping to seal a rift in space that opened up to Exosia, the home dimension of the Nacene. As the rift was sealed, the space that it occupied in space/time changed to accomodate thousands of years of another history, and the absence of light is due to the photonic energy in that area having been drained into the rift and unable to regenerate at this time
