Constitution class, parallex matter echo

Constitution class shown experiencing a parallex matter echo

A parallex matter echo was a phenomenon that could cause a starship's sensors to indicate that the pursuing ship was occupying the same space as the pursued ship. This false reading was generated by the warp drive regulators.

In 2286, on his memory test, Spock was asked by the computer to identify this condition. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
