| Telepresense | |
|---|
|
|---|
Telepresense is a process that allows a vessel to be controlled from a remote location. The Andorians experimented with it years ago, but nothing came of it. A pilot can operate the drone from a great distance, possibly many light years. The pilot must be a telepath. The Romulan drone was operated by telepresence. (ENT: The Aenar)

| Temporal anomaly | |
|---|
|
|---|
Rft or hole in the space-time continuum, which allows for passage from one time period to another, or from one parallel reality to another.
|
| |
| Temporal causality loop | |
|---|
|
|---|
A disruption in the space-time continuum in which a localized fragment of time is repeated over and over again, ad infinitum. Minor variations are possible in successive iterations of a loop.
|
| |
| Temporal flux | |
|---|
|
|---|
Phenomenon in which matter passes from one space-time continuum to another. Temporal flux can interfere with the operation of transporters if the object or person to be transported is in a state of temporal flux.
|
| |
| Temporal incursion | |
|---|
|
|---|
Method of altering history by erasing a target object from space-time in a way that it has never existed.
Temporal incursion is equivalent to traveling back in time and removing or destroying the respective object.

| Temporal tags | |
|---|
|
|---|
Daniels gave Archer temporal tags when he sent Archer and T'Pol to 2004. They are used to bring back anything that doesn't belong in the time in which they are placed. (ENT: Carpenter Street)

| Tetralubisol | |

 Tetralubisol is a highly volatile lubricant in use aboard ship. It is a milky substance. Lenore Karidian used this substance to poison Kevin Riley on Stardate 2819. (TOS: The Conscience of the King)

| Tetryon | |
|---|
|
|---|
Subatomic particle that can only exist in subspace and is unstable in normal space.
|
| |
| Tetryon plasma | |
|---|
|
|---|
 Tetryon plasma tends to disrupt subspace, causing a dilitium fracture problem when used in spacecraft. The Yellowstone-class runabout used tetryon plasma. Tetryon plasma emits multiflux gamma radiation. Venting the plasma causes warp engines of a pursuing ship to stall. (VOY: Non Sequitur)

| Time travel | |
|---|
|
|---|
Usually any movement through time that is not equivalent to the normal course of time, in particular a person's travel leading to the past or faster as usual to the future. Time travel to the past may be connected with paradoxes or causality loops, if an effect becomes apparent before the cause exists.
Traveling at relativistic speeds will allow time travel to the future, however, with no return.

| Timeship | |
|---|
|
|---|
Vessel capable of traveling through time generating temporal rifts.
|
| |
| Tomographic imaging scanner | |
|---|
|
|---|
Sensor scan which involves a series of narrow-beam X-rays to scan object in a multiphasic mode.
|
| |
| Topaline ore | |
|---|
|
|---|
Topaline ore is a mineral that disrupts scans, making it difficult to detect anything in close proximity to it. (ENT: The Shipment)

| Tractor beam | |
|---|
|
|---|
Tractor beams can be adjusted to repel. (TOS: Who Mourns for Adonais?)
Device used by starships to tow other vessels. Apart from the main emitter and optional auxiliary emitters located around the hull, a small tractor beam emitter is located in each shuttle bay to control the landing procedure. Tractor beams are based on a subspace field assisted emission of gravitons, their direction can be reversed so as to push away an object.

| Transfer coil | |
|---|
|

The transfer coil is part of a ship's phaser mechanism. Spock needed to work on this after the phasers on the U.S.S. Enterprise were damaged on Stardate 1709. (TOS: Balance of Terror)

| Transfer conduits | |

There are eight transfer conduits on the Enterprise NX-01. Kelby was working up a bypass for one that was offline after a phase diagnostic came back negative. (ENT: Bound)

| Transmission circuits | |
|---|
|
|---|
When trying to break free from Apollo's force field, Spock asked that the transmission circuits be rigged for maximum power generation and he asked Sulu to compute for reversal of polarity of the field around the ship. (TOS: Who Mourns for Adonais?)

| Transporter | |
|---|
|
|---|
 In the early days of the transporter's development, some men and women were lost. When the transporter was invented, some people couldn’t grasp it. When it was first approved for bio-matter, people said it was unsafe that it cased brain cancer, psychosis and even sleep disorders. Then there was a metaphysical debate about whether the person that arrived was the same person that left and not some weird copy. Emory Erickson was inventor of, and the first person to go through the transporter. The original transporter took a full minute and a half to cycle through. Emory said you could actually feel yourself being taken apart and put back together. (ENT: Daedalus) Transporters can leave residual ionization traces. Very few people had access to transporter technology in the mid 22nd century. (ENT: Affliction)

Basic device of Federation technologies, including transporters, phasers and communicators.

| Transwarp | |
|---|
|
|---|
In subspace physics, a velocity equalling warp 10, unattainable under normal warp theory. An object travelling at transwarp velocity would theoretically be moving infinitely fast, and would therefore be occupying all points in the universe simultaneously. The U.S.S. Excelsior was launched in 2284 as a testbed for transwarp technology, although the experiment proved a failure.
Lt. Tom Paris from the U.S.S. Voyager became the fisrt human to pilot a ship that could attain transwarp speeds in 2372. Unfortunately, transwarp velocity was shown to have extremely dangerous effects on living beings, but recently Federation scientists have solved this problems with use of data from Voyager's transwarp experiment and data gathered about Borg transwarp propulsion sytems.
The Borg use sophisticated transwarp conduits, allowing their ships to travel at least 20 times faster than normal warp-powered vessels. The Borg used their transwarp conduits to permit their ships to reach Federation space with little or no advance warning.

Transportation system within a starship. The turbolift system consists of a network of turboshafts and the single turbolift cars. A turbolift is driven by linear motors. Acceleration up to 10m/s^2 is possible and can be partially compensated for the passengers by damping fields within the car.
