Chapter 34 - The Evolution of the Star Trek Transporter Effect (including other races' transporters) (Patreon)
Content
Since Gothic's transporter is mix of different alien transporter technologies, I wanted to create a new transporter visual effect for my story. I consulted this video when deciding on it; it's a fantastic look at how the transporter effect evolved over time, across all the series and movies, and how different races did the same. In the end, Gothic's transporter effect actually closely mirrors the Star Trek: Picard transporter effect in the future, the one seen when people quickly appear from those arches, as if they're arriving to work.

In a power play that I’m sure would piss off many who didn’t want to hear what I had to say, I materialized directly in the center of the main meeting hall of the Bajoran Chamber of Ministers. The transporter materialization was a bright silver white, hundreds of vertical silver white lines quickly assembling my pattern in a way very distinctly different than that of a modern Starfleet transporter.
Like so much of my technology these days, it was a mutt, a mix of advanced transporter technologies from several different races, but was mostly Husnock in design. That design had a much, much larger effective range which better fit my needs and was more my style anyways, meaning it was much quicker to complete the transport materialization process. For a race of conquerors, materializing more quickly meant that you were vulnerable for far less time, capable of attacking or defending that much faster.
