Teleporter

Teleporter upgrades include a dual matter-conversion and communication device that allow the wearer to be instantly transported over a large distance by requesting service from a teleportation control station. Public teleporters exist in most major cities to transport non-upgraded individuals between key locations, but these are often expensive and impractical to use. Citizens may incorporate this upgrade for a variety of reasons, but it is typically seen among travelling businesspeople and high-ranking Authority members. While it is not the most difficult upgrade to obtain, suppliers must also operate and organize the movement of their customers and so do not often sell to those who would not have a regular use for it.

Teleporters require a supplemental license to activate. The license is electronic and specifices the suer's census data, class type, and registered transport stations. Even if an individual has incorporated the upgrade hardware into their person, it cannot be used legally with a suspended or limited license.

There are five publicly recognized teleportation control stations on Thaeta. They sell and install their own parts, employing trained personnel to answer every transport request according to the customer's license and priority.

The teleporter is a small, circular device that is located just above the pelvis, on the user's dominant side. It includes a button that may display the supplier's insignia, which must be pressed to contact the nearest control station on the user's license. Once activated, the user waits to be answered and requests transport. While the request is fulfilled immediately, the answer may take hours as the user's priority decreases.
 * The TCHQ is located in the Nexus and serves the Nexus, Haven, and Mourier. It includes a supplementary station in Mourier for the express purpose of Nest-Mourier teleportation.
 * The J. P. Graham Station is located in Laures and serves the eastern half of the continent, including Laures, Eden, and until recently, Haven.
 * The Lion Center is located in Singh, serving its sprawling streets and the deep southern part of the continent.
 * The Spiriter is located in Nye, serving the Metroplex and some northern parts of the continent.
 * The Lunar Orbiting Control Center (LOCC) is located in orbit over Thaeta and is used only for upper-class teleporters requiring swift transport over the greatest distances.

In rare cases, a malfunctioning teleporter may cause breathing problems in customers with organic lungs and diaphragm. Teleporting outside of a control station's range is possible, though it may lead to some matter reassignment complications.
