== The Use Of The Common Day Transporter ==

A transporter is a machine which can dissasemble particles and then reassemble them at a destination point which is entered into the console. Most Transporter technology is available up to 40,000 kilometers. This field size can be decreased by thick layers of rock.

Starfleet transporters are usually installed with several systems such as one that can detect and disable a weapon mid-transport and a bio-filter which can remove contagious microbes or viruses from an individual in transport.

Also the transporter can be used as a tactical resource, to do such things as transport a grenade or even a photon torpedo into an enemy encampent before detonation.

Although transporters can't usually transport antimatter, there has been some research into the project.

=== A thought on Transporters ===

For example, say a Character got beamed down from a ship onto the planet surface. This character is disassembled and then later the molecules are reassembled to create a "new" version of the character. 

My question is this: is this version of the character the "real" character or a copy of the character? And if its the latter answer what happens to the original character?

It is my thought on the subject is more like cutting and pasting on a word document, and not so much copy and pasting.  Basically taking the orginal and pasting.  That is what I think the transporter process is like.

Iwo Jima Class Aussalt Ships have transporter system designed to transport a whole Company(About 120-140 Armed Marines) of Federation Marines onto enemy Ship or station in one go .However the shields of the enemy ship or station should be down.
