The Time Trap is an episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series.
[edit] Plot outline
While exploring the Delta Triangle, where many starships have disappeared, the U.S.S. Enterprise is attacked by several Klingon vessels. During the battle they are caught in an ion storm. The Enterprise and one Klingon battlecruiser are drawn into a spacetime vortex and end up in a timeless dimension in what could only be called a starship graveyard.
The crew discovers that the timewarp will gradually disintegrate the Enterprise's dilithium crystals. Their only means of escape is to link their ship with the Klingons and try to power out of the vortex.
[edit] Notes
As with all episodes of the animated Star Trek, this story is not considered to be part of the official Star Trek canon. However, one might notice the similarities to the Voyager episode "The Void".
The episode introduces the first example of a Starfleet starship other than a Constitution-class ship: the USS Bonaventure, which is said to be the "first ship to have warp drive installed" in the episode. The ship is never referenced in live-action Star Trek.
