'''Teleportation''' is the technological or [[psychic]] ability to move an object from one place to another, more or less instantaneously, completely bypassing the intervening distance. It is used by a variety of armies and units including but not limited to [[Imperial]]{{Fn|3}} and [[Chaos Space Marine|Chaos]] [[Space Marine]] [[Terminator]]s{{Fn|4}}, [[Eldar]] [[Warp Spiders]]{{Fn|7}}, and even the [[Orks]].{{Fn|13}}
 
==Examples==
===Imperial Technology===
[[Image:TeleportBeacon.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Orbital-dropped [[Teleport Homer]]{{Fn|11}}]]
Imperial teleporters are massive devices built into spacecraft and buildings, and require considerable power supplies.{{Fn|3}} Typically, a primary teleporter array is composed of a looming mechanism above a broad circular platform raised above the ground. The raised platform being about the height of the average human and able to fit several hundred men and women. The complex framework of pipes, wires, and plating will often have a lambent blue light pulsing from within its ducts and mechanisms when active.{{Fn|19a}}

Despite that modern conventional Imperial teleportation is unable to achieve this, '''[[Archeotech]] Teleportariums''' from the [[Dark Age of Technology]] are known to be capable of transporting forces directly from planet to planet. A network of these archeotech teleportariums existed in [[Subsector Aurelia]] as well as on the [[Space Hulk]] [[Judgment of Carrion]]{{Fn|13}}{{clear}}
 
====Terminators====
[[Teleport homer]]s are incorporated into the behemoth [[Terminator armour]], allowing [[Terminator squad]]s to teleport directly into the midst of their enemies. Standard [[Power Armour]]-ed Space Marines normally can not safely teleport due to [[Warp]] exposure, but the heavily protected Terminator frames offer protection.{{Fn|14}} Teleportation is used both by Imperial [[Space Marines]] and their [[Chaos Space Marine|Chaos]] counterparts. The ship-based teleporter devices used by the Terminators are maintained by [[Astropath]]s. Using their psychically gifted minds, they allow the Terminators a brief moment of safe passage by shifting certain aspects of the [[warp]]. Some, mainly the members of the [[Ordo Malleus]], have shown scorn for the idea of using the Warp to allow the troops of the Imperium the ability to teleport. However, none can criticize the vast number of battles the Imperium has won due to this ability.{{Fn|1}}
*Typically when a Necron is destroyed, their mind and body is teleported to the nearest [[tomb world| tomb complex]] as part of [[Reanimation Protocols]]
*[[Necron Lord]]s can use the [[Veil of Darkness]] to teleport across the battlefield.{{Fn|6}}
*[[Gauss weapon]]s operates on a similar principle to teleportation, particularly that of the Necron's [[reanimation protocols]], breaking apart the bonds of atoms and converting them into energy, siphoned into the weapon to be rematerialized as needed by the Necrons as needed. With Gauss Weapons, this effect notably acts on a target in layers, as a target's matter is literally "flayed" layer by layer, converted to energy in mere seconds.{{fnFn|20}}
