Slipspace translocation

Slipspace translocation, commonly known as teleportation, is a method of travel that allows the user to travel nearly instantaneously between locations. This is achieved through the use of slipspace as a travel medium, much like the principles behind the UNSC's Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine or the Covenant's Slipspace Drive. The Forerunners were the first known civilization to make extensive use of teleportation technology. Later on, this technology was reverse-engineered by the Covenant.

Mechanics
Slipspace translocation technology does not actually "teleport" its users by dematerializing them and re-building them in another location; rather, it encases them in a compressed slipstream field, transporting them from one position to another almost instantaneously. This happens much in the same way that a spaceship uses slipspace to travel between star systems - time passes for the individual, but due to the short distances involved it is negligible.

Example usage
These are examples of teleportation technology used by various factions:
 * Teleporter - A common name for devices enabling teleportation between two fixed points.
 * Teleportation grid - A network on a Forerunner installation that allows transportation without a device of any kind.
 * Covenant Spire - A Covenant battlefield installation, containing a teleporter used to transport dropships or other vehicles from ships overhead.
