TRANSPORTERS
Transporters
Transporters are matter-energy conversion devices that take an object or being and transform it into a pattern of phased energy that can be transmitted as a complex trans-barrier signal through the first-level subspace (hyper-spcae) domain to a set of desired coordinates and then retransformed into its original form. They employ the Heisenberg compensators, pattern buffers, phase transition coils, biofilters, matter streams, confinement beams, matter-energy converters and phased matter. An entity remains conscious during transport and can be held in stasis. While in transport, you seem whole to yourself.
The Heisenberg Principle states that you cannot know both the location of subatomic particle and its direction of motion. This had changed by the 24th century. The Heisenberg compensators help keep track of the particles in the beam by compensating for what is not known.
There are 2 personnel transporters on Deck 4, plus 2 cargo transporters. In addition, four small emergency evacuation transporters are avilable for one-way beaming off the ship only.
