I'm sure star trek had to have something like that too...

I'm just not enough of a treckie to know. But I'm sure it was a wormhole, crystalline, quasi dimansional entity or something that served just this purpose on the economy of Star Trek.

If they didn't address this in Enterprise somehow, the series they did after Deep Space Nine and Voyager, then they just lamed out.. I don't know. I didn't watch it.
