Molecular Teleportatiion has been an old dream of science fiction and
fantasy. In the late 24th century, break throughs in beamed enegry
science and computer technology allowed reasearchers to teleport matter
as beamed streams of focused energy. But when these beams, known as matter streams,
were obstructed the matter would be displaced into fundimental particles or
ramdom radiation. Because of the dangerous and uncertain outcome of
Molecular Teleportatiion, experiments cesed until the mid 25th century
when Sub-Space was brought to light by the arival of the Kersens to Earth.
Using Sub-Space, matter could be beamed safly under protection of antimatter
energy fields. Antimatter fields must be produced to shield the matter from
the dangers of Sub-Space travel, thus large ammounts of power are needed and the
cost is considerable. Though the technology for Molecular Teleportatiion exists, it is not commonly used.
