Teleportation Blocker

The teleportation blocker beacon is a new technology that takes advantage of the rarely known spell known as a Nullification Field. The beacon is a skinny tall object with an internal power core that constantly sends out this field on an amplified field of range, spanning up to ten kilometers. Its sole purpose is to jam all magical input and output data relating to long-range teleportation. While incapable of blocking matter transference, these blocker beacons can effectively shut down long-range teleportation for all mages in range, preventing the ability from firing so long as this beacon remains active.

Utility

The teleportation blocker was designed and intended for use by the Terracom military, in order to prevent their enemies, the Polarian Rebels from escaping the country by means of long-range teleportation. This also prevents the Polarians from obtaining foreign backup and reserve forces from any potentially allied clans. In addition to its effect, it will also disrupt the Polarians' ability to move around the country as effectively. This utility has been proven effective by the mere fact that the Polarians have been stealing Terracom vehicles to move about.

Social Impact

The technology while in use blocks all long-range teleportation in and out of the country, as well as within the nation if the distance target is great enough. This is negativley impacted the Polarian Rebels during their war with Terracom. But it has also complicated investigative matters previously attempted by the Leray Mitigation Agency. The LMA intended to conduct investigations into the Polarium war to determine which factions were worthy of cooperative assistance, by means of warping in through multiple zones and vectors. This has been made impossible due to the blockers.

Access & Availability

These units are only given to high ranking Terracom members.

Complexity

The internal power core of this beacon can regenerate its own expended energy faster than the amount of energy in constant use, by means of siphoning such power from the Polarium Veil surrounding it. This means the blocker can run without any maintenance or user input indefinitely once activated. The unit sticks into the ground and must have the top side antenna aimed upwards. This unit is not capable of blocking certain teleportation frequencies; it jams all long-range teleportation indiscriminately.

Discovery

Though it is unknown how the owning organization became aware of the concept of Nullification Fields, Pharacorp had an easy time mass producing these beacons, perfecting the design, and distributing them throughout all of Polarium.
