Salvager Beams

The material transmission beams, most commonly known as "Salvage beams" are one of the most well known technologies available.
The beam, also known as an energy-matter scrambler, is able to convert the molecules of an object into a pattern, then beam them into a chamber where they were reconverted back into their original pattern, most preferably inside the cargo holds.
== Early History ==
Early mining was hard, with expensive technologies being used such as asteroid towing to mining facilities. However the process was slow and expensive, being only available to big corporations.
Things began to change when mining lasers were implemented. Considered the precursor techonology to current Salvager technology, the lasers were able to break raw materials into small particles that were easier to harvest.
However that was not enough. The resource hungry corporations invested enough money to create something that could cut the costs of mining and would require only simple alloys and crystal composites to operate. Borrowing military tech commonly used on Phase Beams, the research began with big funding from the small conglomerate known as "The Traders Guild".
== Breakthrough ==
In early 2312, the now powerful Trading Guild developed the "Salvage Beam" technology, capable of acquiring resources at a rate never seen before. Civillian and Military alike were able to reproduce the tech using whatever minerals at hand, which caused the technology to achieve almost universal popularity.
== Today ==
Today the Salvage Beam technology is a must for anyone, from the small miner to the biggest factions. The technology is still being improved as time goes by, with the addition of military upgrades such the increase in range when coupled with Phase Beam lenses or the longer, more powerful pulse using the military-grade Pulse generator.
