The Expanse Itself

Under no doubt, the Delphic Expanse is the most inhospitible place in the galaxy known to mankind.  It is coated with a layer of cloud that almost acts as a warning not to enter.  It is vast, and not only vulcans, but klingons as well, fear to enter it.  It is the home of very strange creatures, including the species Xindi (see above).  Though Earth was determined to take a starship in to stop a war from coming- pitting an entire starship- the NX-01 Enterprise, at great danger.  The Delphic Expanse is littered with ancient gigantic spheres, and no one dares get too close.  They emit extreme amounts of Gravametric Energy, which causes thousands of spatial and temporal anomalies to appear throughout the expanse.  It is speculated that there are hundreds of spheres throughout the region.  One anomaly caused the creation of an alternate universe- one which Earth is destroyed, but that universe hopefully will never come to pass.  The Delphic Expanse truly is strange, and some questions might never be answered of this place.


The Spheres

The Spheres in the Delphic Expanse are massive.  They are silvery-gray and have many markings.  There are hundreds- and every one of them is exactly the same as the next.  They emmit huge amounts of gravimetric energy which create anomalies and obstacles around them.  We have only seen the inside of them once.  The Ossarian pirates like to store their stolen supplies inside them.  Inside there are huge power generators.  Each one of them is surrounded by a cloaking field, which creates a rough ride for any ship wandering through- but you'd be a fool to do so.

There is also a religeous group who worship the spheres- called Triannons.  They once stole Enterprise in an attempt to go to them.  Who knows what mysteries around them will be unravled next?

Anomolies

The Xindi: The contents of a cargo bay were flinging around, defying gravity

Anomoly: Archer's coffe cup floats up, and The crewmembers plates and forks shoot up to the ceiling.  Several ripples in the hallway and outside the ship.  The Ossarian's face seems to have been rippled by an anomoly.

Rajiin: Crewman Cutlers arm was broken by one while she was in the Harponics Bay.

Impulse: The asteroids in the asteroid field are irratic, and are flying off in all directions.

Exile: Archer's Water Polo Ball sticks to the wall.  Several ripples throughout the ship.  A large section of hull plating boils and vapourizes.

Twilight: An anomoly hits Archer, and releases creatures into his Brain that destroy his memories every few hours.

Chosen Realm: D'Jamat's arm has been rippled by one of the anomolies.  He beleives that the anomolies were sent to make things beautiful for the 'makers' return to the Chosen Realm.

Proving Ground: There's a deeper section in the expanse where the anomolies are abnormaly large.  One sent a force-field of green light through the ship in this episode.

Stratagem: Many anomolies in this episode are really just the hydraulic ship bumping around.  Though one anomoly is real.  Every time they venture into the xindi proving-ground, an anomoly hits them that causes ship's systems to go extremely wonky.

Harbinger: A Collosus spatial anomoly is found that  engulfes the bridge and releases a gas into the atmosphere.

later there's gonna be more!
