History & Background (Dossier)

Starship-sized matter transport portals are unavailable at TL:13-15 and it is not believed that the technology will be available until the TL:19-27 Technological Period or perhaps at a more advanced, later age.

It is believed that the Ancients and possibly other precursor sophont species possessed this technology.

The only jump gates found in Charted Space are artifacts, left from other, more advanced civilizations.
