Talk:Nekrit Expanse
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
It's quite possible that the expanse is a very thin but wide area of space. Voyager seems to make about 83 - 100 light years a month. It might extend "up" and "down" across voyager's path but be only a few hundred light years "thick". --User:66.93.220.66 03:05, April 27, 2007

When they started out on the journey, they said it would take 70 years to travel 70,000 light years, so that comes out to at least 83 light years a month. Besides, it may be the most reasonable given what the erata notes point out.66.93.220.66 02:38, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- I believe the request for evidence was based on your idea of it being thin. What evidence do you have to back that up? --OuroborosCobra talk 02:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ah. Well, it is a conjecture. Assuming that this was intentional by the show's writers, this seems somewhat likely (although you and Alan are right; no evidence). There was no mention of a subspace anomaly (which usually merits a mention or at least some kind of plot device like there was in Night. It just seemed like the most reasonable explanation given how quickly they passed through it (a couple of months) and their apparent average velocity.66.93.220.66 06:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
