Janus Gate: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:01, 1 December 2021

The Schatten Star System is the only publicly known location in this universe of the Supergate version of a Hermod Gate, also known as a Trans-Dimensional Supergate. Created in conjunction with the Avali using their superior understanding of wormhole technology, the Supergate allows transit between different realities of the multiverse, with some restrictions.

Size: 9.55 km Diameter
30 km Circumference
1070 Standard Blocks / 10 Reactor Blocks
Location: Fixed at 8 AU from the Schatten Star
Right Ascension 3h 18m 22.59s by Declination 15° 9' 5.07

The gates operation is managed from Janus Station, a Class 2 Space Station where navigation between realities is calculated and the gate can be activated.

Schedule

To facilitate trade and commerce the gate has scheduled times that it will be opened to various realities once a valid connection is established and probes determine that the reality is safe to travel to. The specific rotates depends on the demand for passage to and from a given reality.

-== Power Source ==
+The gates operation is managed from [[Janus Station]], a [[Class 2 Space Station]] where navigation between realities is calculated and the gate can be activated.
-The Supergate is powered by a series of 8 matter/antimatter reactors placed at equal-distant points built into the gate-blocks at those points.  When activated the 8 reactors provide the power to open the gate and maintain the wormhole.  However, the power is drained from the system faster than the reactors can produce it, since the blocks were designed to operate from a full quantum singularity.
-== Choosing a Destination ==
+== Schedule ==
-The nature of different realities in the multiverse makes travel to a reality too similar to ones own very difficult and extremely costly in energy and control.  Experimental results revealed that a stable wormhole could not be produced reliably or safely leading to any reality which was too close to the one the gate originates in.   Trial and error has found that the shape of the wormhole can direct which reality it opens up to, and that there are ''sweet spots'' which form a wormhole easier than others.  It seems that nature allows transit between realities only within these particular destinations in the multiverse, each corresponding to a ''root universe'', different from our own.  Targeting a variation of one of these universes is difficult at best and impossible / dangerous at worst.
+To facilitate trade and commerce the gate has scheduled times that it will be opened to various realities once a valid connection is established and probes determine that the reality is safe to travel to.  The specific rotates depends on the demand for passage to and from a given reality.
-== Restrictions ==
+[[Category:Hermod Supergates]]
-The wormhole stays open for a limited time before it exhausts the energy built up by the reactors.  A wormhole can only stay open for a maximum of 38 minutes before it reaches a point that the reactors can no longer sustain.  The reactors then require another 12.6 minutes to recharge the gates power reserves before they can open another stable wormhole.
-While the original wormhole allowed only one-way travel, the Avali technology allows the wormhole to travel both ways between realities.
