Plasma streamer

A plasma streamer was a stream of plasma between the two stars of a binary system. Plasma streams created ionized distortion fields surrounding them, greatly reducing the efficacy of sensors, transporters, and even tractor beams.

In 2369, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was sent to the Igo system to investigate the disappearance of the USS Yosemite, a science vessel sent to remotely observe the stream.
