Changes: Transporter scrambler

Revision as of 19:48, 15 October 2014

A transport scrambler (also called a pattern scrambler) was a device designed to discourage transporter use in a certain area by interfering with the annular confinement beam, causing the transported object to rematerialize in a random pattern. Transport scramblers could be programmed to recognize particular signals and only interfere with enemy transporter systems.

During the Federation-Klingon War (2372-73), the Klingons used transport scramblers in ground battles to prevent the enemy from deploying troops effectively. (DS9: "Nor the Battle to the Strong")

The Cardassians routinely booby-trapped their abandoned facilities, such as Empok Nor, with pattern scramblers rigged to activate if they detect a non-Cardassian transporter signal. Miles O'Brien remarked that these devices could be "messy". (DS9: "Empok Nor")

Soukara was protected by transporter scramblers, making transport to any area of the planet impossible. (DS9: "Change of Heart")

-Unlike [[shields]] or a [[dampening field]], which would disrupt [[targeting scanner]]s and prevent all beam in attempts, transporter scramblers are designed to interfere with the [[annular confinement beam]] while the [[transport pattern]] is in transit through [[space]].  The resulting pattern then rematerializes the travelers molecules in a random manner, resulting in instant death.
