A quantum filament is a spatial anomaly.
A filament can be hundreds of meters long, but they are very difficult to detect because they have almost no mass. If they come to direct contact with a starship, they cause severe systems damage. At immediate proximity shipboard sensors can detect subspace distortions and high-energy particles from the filament.
The Enterprise-D ran into several quantum filaments in 2368 (stardate 45156.1) and suffered major power loss. Several crewmembers were killed or injured and with emergency bulkheads closed due to isolation protocol, they were trapped in various parts of the ship. The ship was also in danger of losing antimatter containment before the crew managed to restore power. (TNG: "Disaster")
