Mark Suter This master tech feeling betrayed seems like a very plausible way to have translocator cannons spread. It would not surprise me to learn that the Union already has translocator shields...

Dear Mark,

The original Translocator technology was brought back by Admiral Stahl aboard the "then" alien Lyrec class battleship that became the Devastator. (The Translocator cannon technology was discovered and brought back to the Union by Admiral Richard Stahl around 3590 during the last Y’All invasion ) The year is 5023, that is almost 1500 years (1433). While the TL Canons were the development of a TL 11 society, Union science has vastly improved over the original design. Sniper TL, Rotary or Gatling TL. Micro Load TL as part of personal weaponry (Destroyer Suits, etc.) and so forth. The Union also developed a tight security system guarding this secret. As well as all Union enemies trying to get it. The secret keeping became so convoluted that the secret keepers protected the secret keepers. Anyway, the Union already has TL shields Its the ParaDim and TransDim shields, but loosing this powerful gurantor of Union might could still cause major problems..;-)
