"Transmatter modulation was one of the first Builder technologies to be uncovered during the exploration of Antarean space. This happened such a long time long ago that it's impossible to be sure exactly how this discovery occurred, or where, or how the alien technology was successfully replicated. All we know is that from the Second or Renatal Age, transmatter modulators – or transmats as they are generally known – became commonplace throughout human space.

A transmat is the usual method of transportation between an orbiting spacecraft and a planet's surface, or from one spacecraft to another in close proximity. A transmat can transport an object or person to another transmat, allowing practically instantaneous travel between two remote locations. The distance that can be travelled between two transmits depends upon their position to some extent, but is generally sufficient to travel from a planet's surface to an orbiting craft, although not much greater. Some worlds have transmat systems that allow overland travel; this is achieved by a series of static transmats phased precisely together and spaced about fifty miles apart. These are known as transmat loops or as trans-loops or just loops; they function like roadways, transporting materials and people between one fixed location and another…"
