Local TMT

Local TMTs

Common Union term for a Transmatter Tunnel connection that connects locally usually to points within the same system.

There are two kinds of local TMTs. There are the permanent Tunnels that do not differ in size or layout from a Long range TMT, except destination.

Meaning it is usually a big gate that is Slidebelt fed, and big enough to accept taxi skimmer and are usually part of a Space train station or Space port.

Then there are small TMTs that connect points within a planet or Torus and are only big enough to accept an individual.

These TMTs are not active permanent and only energize when used, but usually allow the selection of different destinations.

Local TMTs can usually only be found at core worlds and Gigastructures.

Pluribus features the most extensive Local TMT net with over 12,000 dialable destinations in the Pluribus system.

Closely followed by the Sol System with almost 11,000.

TMT services are provided by SII-Transport Technologies Inc. and TMT booths and platforms can be leased under long term contracts.

Some Networks are free to use and provided by local communites (such as the Pluribus Commute System) others charge between  1 and 5 Credits per use.

Many commuter systems have monthly schemes available.
