One of the most basic forms of translocation system is the [[teleporter]], a device that allows transit between two fixed points. The Forerunners used several types of teleporters as a form of transport on their various installations, including the [[Halo Array]] and the [[shield world]]s.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''</ref> These teleportation devices vary widely in design; the shield world [[Requiem]] featured a static array of slipspace portals that would pop out of the ground upon activation, whereas some older Forerunner structures (such as a stone building in the State of Ontom on Sanghelios) included portals that were completely invisible until traveled through.
