	===<u>The Borg</u>===		===<u>The Borg</u>===
			All Borg technology, even nano technology, has the following "rules" baked in at a core level (think of it as firmware rules, really hard to change):
			*Connect to the collective for survival
			*Survive via diversity
			*Diversify via assimilation

			Up until the events of 2401, every bit of Borg technology would constantly, consistently, attempt to reach out and join any other nearby Borg technology / part of the collective. It took the Alliance a couple of years to notice, but by 2410, it was clear that the drive to connect has simply <b>stopped</b>, in all gathered Borg technology. No assessment of gathered Borg artifacts has proven why or how this happened.

			Borg technology is built up from, and based on, deeply nested and interconnected quantum, self-editing, self-replicating, neural networks. The barely understood "programing language" underpinning this is a <i>quantum language</i>. It requires powerful, dedicated, purpose built computers to translate and work with. As it turns out, multitronic computers are up to this task.

			Analogies only go so far - keep that in mind.

			By analogy, traveling at warp speeds is the equivalent of traveling underwater, relative to the "on the surface of the water" that traveling at impulse speeds represents.

			"Regular" warp speeds represent a fairly "shallow" depth into subspace.

			"Slipstream" or "Transwarp" speeds represent the next broad depth into subspace. Traveling at this depth renders a ships sensors incapable of "seeing" anything in normal space. The sensors <i>can</i> sense things happening in the "regular" warp speed depth.

			"Underspace", "conduits", et.al. speeds represent the deepest currently understood depth into subspace. How these exist, whey they exist, are all unanswered questions. They produce routes through subspace. While traveling in one of these "structures", ships sensors can user sensors on what's happening in the corridor their in, and can use sensors on corresponding normal space.

			There's been and handful of other anomalous FTL travel noted (e.g. The Guardian of Forever, Q Continuum) that aren't well understood, or easy to replicate.

	===<u>Transporters</u>===		===<u>Transporters</u>===
			Transporters are a dangerous technology. There are a ton of built in safeguards, at the software and hardware levels, to prevent their misuse. This technology is so dangerous, that any society that develops it almost immediately signs up to all the myriad "non weaponization of transporter technology" treaties that exist.

			Transporting a living being requires a comprehensive scan of a living being's quantum biosignature - that's the information that allows a Transporter to reassemble a living being after beaming it to the destination. The quantum biosignature is the most critical data stored in a transporters pattern buffer.

			Storing a quantum biosignature over time spans longer than a few moments requires a lot of engineering know-how, and a substantial dedicated power source.

			Creating a duplicate living being whole-cloth from a stored transporter pattern, despite the records of it happening a couple of times, is not possible <i>on purpose</i>. Some of the best scientific minds have tried. 99.99999999999999999% of the time, such attempts have ended up in grisly, body-horror inducing style disasters. It. Just. Is. NOT. Done.

			The reason finicky transporter work is often done by more seasoned personnel is two fold - they have the experience, and they have the command authority to disable some of the built in safe guards to do things the transporter systems says are unsafe. Without these overrides, the transporter system's default is: "There's no interfering radiation, the target and destination aren't moving, we're at very close range, everyone involved has had their morning coffee, so sure, you can energize."
