Supercharged Fleet Teleporter
A large and very energy intensive technology used by the HEX Mainframe.
Supercharged Fleet Teleporters (SFTs) can reach several kilometers in length. They are large enough that most starships that use them are built around the SFT itself.
They are capable of teleporting nearby ships up to several astronomical units away in almost precise positions. However, due to the sheer number of quantum particles that make up a starship, it takes time to teleport. This results in a 'shadow' starship where it is being teleported; this shadow can be easily detected by the enemy. This acts as a warning abnout the incomming threat. Furthermore, they have a large energy requirement to use, so the HM often puts very large fusion reactors on. Even these can only run the teleporter one time every few minutes.
These can be used to flank an enemy position with ease, and launching surprise attacks. This opens up a large amount of strategic options for the HM, though enemies of the HM have learned to prepare for the teleports before each battle just in case they happen.
They are sometimes countered by shooting the SFT itself while it is in use. Destruction of the SFT will destroy all ships that it was teleporting at the time. As a counter-countermove, the HM often armours these heavily. This makes them very slow.
