	This form of transporter operates by putting the matter stream into a state of quantum flux and transporting it through subspace instead of normal space. The benefit to this is that it allows a much greater range of transport: up to three light-years. The downside is that the quantum flux state is unstable, which can cause problems for the person or object transported. When a character uses a subspace transporter, the Narrator rolls 1d6. On a 6, the quantum flux matter stream breaks up, killing or destroying the subject.

	A transporter accident in [[2267]] involving some of the crew of the original [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)\|''USS Enterprise'']] revealed the existence of a “mirror universe” where the same people exist as in the regular universe, but with different morals and a different history. Since then it has become possible to configure a transporter to travel to the Mirror Universe automatically. A transporter built expressly for cross-dimensional travel uses a 5 SU emitter/receiver array, but is otherwise built the same as an ordinary transporter. However, most instances of multidimensional travel simply involve modified normal transporters. Only transporters with Class F energizing/transition coils (or better) and a Personnel Type 4 emitter/receiver array (or better) can be configured for multidimensional travel. Reconfiguring one requires the proper schematics, about one hour, and a Moderate (8) Systems Engineering (Transporter/Replication Systems) Test, or occurs automatically when a Mirror Universe device known as a ~~crossdimensional~~ transporter modulator is applied to the transporter.

	Based upon the so-called Elway Theorem, this type of transporter folds space to transport persons or objects across great distances. However, each use of a folded space transporter causes irreversible damage to the subject. Each time a person uses a folded space transporter, he loses 0.1 point of Fitness. When he reaches Fitness 0, he dies. He cannot heal this damage, and all Fitness losses from folded space transport are permanent (he could, however, spend Experience Points to increase his Fitness in the usual fashion, thus “healing” the damage). Whenever a point of Fitness drops to 0.4 or below, round down to the next whole number for purposes of making Tests. (For objects, assign them a “Fitness” score for purposes of determining their resistance to the effects of folded space transport.)

	Instead of using shuttles and other small craft to travel to and from their ships, Star Fleet personnel can take advantage of one of the most miraculous of the Federation’s technological achievements: the '''transporter'''. Beginning in [[2121]], [[Grahd]] of [[Tellar]] led a team of scientists—including [[Emory Erickson]] of [[Earth]] and [[T’pratha]] of [[Vulcan]]—in inventing this wondrous device. Prior to Grahd’s general improvements to transporters in [[2139]], such units were much more unreliable. (Add +2 to the Difficulty of any Tests involving them. If a Test fails, a disaster may occur; Dramatic Failure always indicates a horrible death for the person(s) being transported.) They were authorized for transporting biological objects in [[2148]], with the first shipboard installation on the ''[[Enterprise ~~(Guide)~~\|Enterprise]]'' class in [[2151]].

	Transporters dematerialize a subject or object, transforming it from matter into energy, use a narrow-focus subspace carrier wave to transport the energy to a designated location, then transform the energy back into the matter which was dematerialized. Thus, a person can transport carrying his equipment without worrying about having a phaser’s atoms mixed in with his, or his hair coming out blonde instead of black, or his tricorder failing to work.
