TKG07 Kneel Or Die/15

Yollin creation. Entrance/exit to other galaxies, systems. Yoll ship used this to visit/enter Earth space.

Way to travel from one system to another, instantaneously. Can be opened and closed from planets, ships.

Large green circle, undulating waves floating in and around it. If still open, enemy aliens (or other travelers, commercial, passenger transport) still here.

Need a starting location. Tied to their originating location in their space, which allows them to return. Which also, if left open while they are gone, would allow enemies to get to their location without warning, as Bethany Anne did with the Yollin Gate. That's why Team BMW had to figure out some type of protective code, so that gate could be shut, and re-opened upon command. Code word? DNA? Etheric communication? Bethany Anne, speaking of Leath Gates and getting into the Leath system: ...will escape using one of the Leath gates.” “Which one?” Lance asked. “Or are you talking about their latest?” “I have very good intel that their temporarily sidelined gate, which they used for their last expansion effort, is active.

Gates are usually large, and expensive to build. In this paragraph, Cpt. Thomas explains that they had found some of the instructions on how to build a gate, but -

“We don’t have all of the technical diagrams required to build the gate,” he admitted. “Why not?” Lance looked at Kael-ven. “I thought gates were fairly well understood, even if they are a bitch to build?” “The issue is the distance,” Kael-ven admitted. “The king designed it and had his people manufacture a few pieces for the gate. None are alive, and we haven’t located any notes so far.” “So we need TOM.” Lance sighed. “What kind of timeframe are we looking at on this?” “Years,” Kael-ven admitted. “Even with ADAM, TOM, and the others to help, we have to translate all the documents.” Lance waved his hand to get their attention. “The book is in a foreign language?” Kael-ven shook his head. “I didn’t mean the book. But there are a lot of calculations which must be worked through. Even for a normal gate, it would be a multi-year effort.” “Can’t we just repurpose a normal gate?” Lance asked. “No,” Thomas replied, “not for these long-distance gates. They are expensive and fragile, and each is unique. That’s why you don’t see them popping up everywhere, and why it was such a problem when we blew the last one. You are looking at a significant chunk of the GDP of the Empire to undertake this. Until we knew where Earth was?” He shook his head. “It was rebuild and repurpose everything we could.

Just remember that our Gate-capable ships can and will self-destruct if they are caught. That technology cannot fall into the wrong hands.” (Bethany Anne talking to Addix)

The ship could, in fact, run cargo—about four pallets’ worth. However, most of the space was artfully used for the Gate engines that allowed it to bypass commercial Gates. (Addix' ship, the Lady Princess)
