world help: Teleportation

Teleportation came about quite early on, along with the development of the recloning facilities. In 2169, The world-famous, at least on Earth, later to become Galactic Famous Scientist, Professor Theodore Mexara Jackson identified the link between physical atoms and data and indeed how to transform one into the other.
His work, as you can imagine, was highly decorated as it opened the lines for such things as recloning facilities and more importantly, teleportation.
So how does it work?
Without getting too into the specifics, when you step onto a teleportation platform aboard a factory or space station, a deep scan is taken of every detail of your being which is then stored temporarily as you and everything you are wearing is dematerialized. this information is sent to another teleportation platform, (your destination), via the galactic network, and you are recreated there.
In early years, there were many teleportation accidents involving dropped connections and faulty teleportation platforms not scanning things with as much detail as they should, but over the years, they have become so reliable that dying in a teleportation accident in a planet's teleportation bay is almost unheard of.
More recently, starships began employing different sorts of teleportation that work from a slightly different principle. When teleporting down from a ship or back up to one from a landing pad, you are scanned in the same way, but your information isn't sent through a network but instead carried by a coherent beam of energy termed an annular confinement beam. This beam has a limited range but is easily long enough to reach the surface of a planet from space, so you are able to reach a landing pad without landing your vessel.
On ship teleportation units are equipped with special targeting scanners which calculate the exact power and destination point of the end of the beam, and everything is materialized (hopefully successfully) at the location.
More recently still, this technology has been updated to be integrated with existing planetary teleportation platforms which can receive beams from ships and materialize their passengers far more safely, so that same principle has been brought to bear on starships. It is possible to build teleportation platforms similar to those on space stations and planets but that aren't on the planetary network as it would be difficult to mount a receiver on a starship which could handle that much data at a long distance.
From recloning facilities to teleportation platforms to beaming molecules and information through the void of space, we are brought back to the beginning. If it is possible to do all this and crush that last enemy to us all (distance), then what else is next? Who can say? Maybe you can.
