	Teleportation's a common technology among all spacefaring powers by the 23rd century leaving aside some podunk regions of the Delta Quadrant. It's usually quite safe, though it can be quite finicky and can be stopped by a wide variety of things from jammers to electromagnetic storms. To explain why characters don't wind up a few inches shorter [[grimdark\|or vaporize into nothingness]] when they're transported, technobabble in the form of the Heisenberg Compensator was introduced during The Next Generation.

			Fun fact: teleportation (actually a fade-out/fade-in filming trick) only became a major thing in Star Trek because Rodenberry's original idea of having the Enterprise land everywhere was too expensive/complicated/would eat too much screentime. Just having the actors disappear and then appear where needed next [[pretend\|appeared science-fictiony enough]] while requiring little extra decor and only a modicum of post-production work.

	Low-level versions might include Blink, where the teleportation only gets you or your [[Blink Dog\|dog]] a few feet away.

	WARNING: the DM is ''well'' in his rights to rule that Teleport does not work ''everywhere''. Nobody wants a crew of [[illithid]]s 'porting into the council-chamber with their pet [[tarrasque]] and 'porting out again ''sans'' monster. If this spell is readily available, reasonably-intelligent and powerful civilisations will be aware of it and will take steps against it. An excellent example is [[D1-2-3: Drow Trilogy]]: the [[drow]] simply ~~set up their~~ Vault down where Teleport barely works. Other magical wards ([[aboleth]] are handy with glyphs) will be set up in similarly-sensitive regions.		WARNING: the DM is ''well'' in his rights to rule that Teleport does not work ''everywhere''.

	Teleportation's possible in Warhammer 40,000, but isn't really a pleasant thing to do since it basically involves making a short jump through the [[Warp]]. It can be done either through technological means with a device known as a ''Teleportarium'' or ''Tellyporta'', or through the use of [[psychic]] powers. Needless to say even going through the Warp for a Little While has it's risks. The danger's mitigated by the use of Teleport Homers and a highly skilled psyker.

	[[Necrons]] have no need of the Warp or psykers to move instantly between locations, as their technology's just that much more advanced compared to the other races, and can tell the laws of physics to bugger off.
