Transporters<br />
The transporter is a subspace device capable of almost instantaneously moving an object from one<br />
location to another. Transporters are able to dematerialize, transmit and reassemble an object. The<br />
act of transporting is often referred to as "beaming."<br />
Transporter rooms usually consist of a transporter console, a transporter platform with an overhead<br />
molecular imaging scanner, primary energizing coils and phase transition coils.<br />
A pattern buffer with a biofilter is located on the deck below the room. The outer hull of a starship<br />
incorporated a number of emitter pads for the transporter beam.<br />
Transporters work on the quantum level and employ Heisenberg compensators to enable secure<br />
transport of life forms. Biofilter built into the transporter systems prevent dangerous microorganisms<br />
from boarding the ship.<br />
Transporters have a range of 10 to 50 kilometers. Each transporter unit’s range must be<br />
determined during the design phase. Not all species have transporter technology.<br />
GM note - Not according to Memory Alpha – the ranges are a lot longer by the time of <strong>Voyager</strong>.<br />
<strong>Star</strong>ships have a range of 40,000km and shuttles 20,000km.<br />
