==== The Teleportarium ====
'''The Teleportarium Chamber'''<br>
The AA's teleportarium is a large room a hundred feet on each side and three stories tall. At its center is the teleport pad, which is where outgoing personnel actually stand when to be transported on and off the ship. The actual machinery of the pad is warded by a 30cm block of transparent steel, which can be mechanically raised in order to conduct maintenance on the pad. At the sides of the room are the heavily armored bulges containing the remainder of the teleport machinery that cannot fit under the pad.

The teleportarium is overseen by a control station set into the walls of the teleportarium, through which the Electropriests responsible for overseeing the artifact's arcane workings watch the pad through windows of the same transparent steel that shields the pad machinery. Their consoles contain an interlink to the ship's bridge, allowing them to teleport to and from teleport homing beacons, as well as diverting some of the ship's auger capacity to perform independent scanning. Their consoles also control the defensive autoguns that line the room; heavy flamer and heavy bolter turrets blanket the pad area with multiple overlapping fields of fire, which is a wise precaution when one considers that the teleportarium is also used to "receive" quests teleported up from planetside.

There is only one entrance to the teleportarium; a wide corridor with multiple defensive bulkheads and autogun turrets, in case something escapes the teleportarium and tries to rampage aboard the ship. This layout also makes it easy for formed bodies of troops to march onto the teleport pad together.
