Meteorite (Final Fantasy V)

Meteorites , also called Meteors, are the means of travel in Final Fantasy V for the people from the other world to come to Bartz's world. During the course of the story, multiple meteorites crash upon the surface of Planet R each carrying a single passenger.
The meteorite looks like a large meteorite, but it has a door that grants access inside. Within the meteorite, there's a teleportation pad. It's unknown how the meteorite is piloted, or if it's even piloted in the first place. Its creation or how it functions remain a mystery.
== Story ==
The Tycoon Meteorite crashes to the west of Tycoon and south of the Pirates' Hideout. It is first seen during the opening sequence, falling from the sky. The passenger of this meteorite is Galuf who initially suffers from amnesia due to the impact.
The Walse Meteorite crashes on the surface of the planet after the party speaks with King Walse inside his castle. It crashes just north to the town of Walse and east of Walse Tower. The passenger of the second meteorite is a soldier from the Castle of Bal.
The Karnak Meteorite appears to have already crashed before the party is aware of its existence. The party learns they can enter the Walse Meteorite and use the teleportation pad within to transport them to the Karnak Meteorite. The passenger is a werewolf from Quelb, Tsuze, who seems to know Galuf, but Galuf doesn't know him.
Krile takes the last meteorite to come get Galuf, and before the two leave to Galuf's world, Galuf tells Bartz he can't come with them, because this is the last meteorite, and there won't be a way for them to return to their world if they come with him. The meteorite is found in the desert near the Ronka Ruins.
With the help of Cid and Mid, the party revisits the meteorites together with them to recharge them with Adamantite. This creates a warp point on the dragon-shaped peninsula, but the portal only has enough power to send them one way. (The later merging of the worlds by Exdeath renders this problem moot, however.) After this, the meteorites remain as landmarks on the map, but are not used again.

The metorites are mentioned in the Lost Chapter "Will of the Dawn" when Galuf and Krile discuss their previous experience traveling to another world. When asked about the meteorite itself, Krile simply says that they can be used as a mode of transport, leaving their origins and use a mystery.

== Etymology ==
It was called "Meteor" in older versions. Therefore, this use of the term meteor was incorrect as pieces that withstand ablation from atmospheric entry and impact with the ground are called a meteorites rather than meteors.
