Transporter

A transporter is a DragonKin invention used to transport cargo or personnel from a ship to another ship or a planet's surface.
==Overview==
Based on the same technology as Hyperdrives, a transporter uses a brief Subspace jump to carry cargo or personnel over large distances. Due to the very harmful radiation in subspace, only fully developed DragonKin or non-organic matter can use it safely, and only briefly with transport times being limited to around 2 seconds, or around 100,000km range. Time in subspace can be higher with larger DragonKin but is generally not used.
Due to the method in which these transporters work, no molecules are disassembled or re-assembled, but does limit the transporter to use in places where gravity is present on at least one end to pull the transportee through subspace.
More modern species failed to develop sensors powerful and accurate enough to perform transporter operations through shields.
==Sickness==
While radiation levels are instantly lethal to humans, even the weakest DragonKin can survive it for a few seconds when their scales are fully developed. As a result, it is almost impossible for a DragonKin to get radiation sickness unless transporting beyond safe ranges although some small males have suffered bad radiation damage.
However, many DragonKin find the sensation of falling through subspace rather nauseating and often have to puke shortly after.
