In 2365, the Bringloidi civilization was threatened by solar flares in the Ficus sector. The shields were weakened by the flare activity, but managed to hold. Geordi La Forge told Captain Jean-Luc Picard that the solar flare activity on a star the USS Enterprise-D was studying was increasing. ( VOY: " The Thaw")ĭuring a scan of Aldean DNA, Doctor Beverly Crusher was able to confirm that solar flare variations were not responsible for the Aldeans becoming infertile. In 2353, a Kohl settlement was rendered temporarily uninhabitable by a solar flare.

In 2266, a solar flare, accompanied by high levels of cosmic rays, was discharged by the sun in the Minarian star system. In 2255 of the alternate reality, military shuttles were sensitive to solar flames and one cropping up might cause the occupants to be boiled in their seats, at least if a panicking Leonard McCoy was to be believed.

By the 24th century, various techniques existed to trigger solar flares, including particle beams and electromagnetic pulses.
