Traveler Gates

Traveler Gates

Ancient transspatial gates that do not rely on spaceborn structures as the other known gates (such as the Ancient Gate Network). Instead they appear to have an external generator component, that can be within a lightyear distant on a planet, moon or similar large object. The Traveler Gates are most akin to Wormholes and appear as spatial distortion when active. Traveler gates must be reactivated after each use and are otherwise not detectable. Very advanced Tech Level 10 and up sensors can detect exotic particle residue. The gates must be activated with a Key Device. There are eleven known keys,of which only seven have known locations. Captain Erica Olafson has one aboard the Tigershark.

The gates are called Traveler Gates because the Key Devices were a gift of an alien entity or species that visited the Golden almost a few hundred thousand yearsnin the past. Nothing but that name and the Key devices are linked to the Travelers

The Traveler Gates only link points within the M-0 galaxy and a few galaxies of the local group. None link to Andromeda or galaxies outside the local group. The Golden used other gates to spread their golden bazaars beyond the Local Group. The now famous Backdoor to the Union located in the shattered star system of Brhama Port, is such a Traveler Gate and it appears wasnresponsible for the Destruction of the system. The Key device can be used to dial in the destination gates.
