Tholian rift

A Tholian interphasic rift, with an Exeter-class Terran Cruiser exiting it.

Interphasic rifts, also known as mirror universe rifts, are a phenomenon in which the fabric of space breaks up, allowing an overlap of parallel universes on different dimensional planes. The Tholian Assembly has been experimenting with interphasic rifts since the 22nd Century.

Upon destruction, Tholian Orb Weavers, Recluses, and Tarantulas have a chance (5% for the Orb Weaver, 15% for the Recluse, and 25% for the Tarantula) of creating an interphasic rift to the mirror universe, through which Terran Empire ships will appear. Each rift has three pulses, through which different types of Terran ships have a specific chance of coming through.

It should also be noted that the Crystalline Entity has occasionally been observed opening numerous interphasic rifts during combat.

None Terran Frigate Terran Cruiser Terran Escort Terran Science Terran Battleship
First pulse 60% chance 30% chance 10% chance
Second pulse 70% chance 15% chance 10% chance 5% chance
Third pulse 70% chance 15% chance 10% chance 5% chance

Notes[ | ]

  • The Terran ships coming through the rifts are 20% weaker than the Tholian ships which spawned them.
  • Interphasic rifts are visually identical to the Tyken's Rift ability.
