Subspace teleporter

Subspace teleporters are a type of transporter technology that can disassemble and recombine forms of matter and send them through the medium of subspace as if they were normal subspace communications. The teleporter can be operated at a range of almost 40,000 light years, although transmissions are bound to lose some information on the way at distances as extreme as this. However, they consume large amounts of energy and are known to be highly unstable, which makes the transmission of living beings impossible - even inorganic matter has been known to rematerialize as something completely different on the other end. Because of these quirks, subspace teleporters are rarely used; their latest documented application was in the failed subspace laundromat technology.
