From a tactical standpoint, such noise was unacceptable to the Klingons. This additional characteristic of the wave alleviated potential interference but had audio noise as a side effect. What is known that they were less concerned with safety features, such as superheterodyning the transporter signal. It is not known if the Klingons developed the technology independently or stole it from other civilizations. Improvements were tested using the Baton Rouge-class starships Moscow and Tehran. ( ENT: ' Broken Bow')Įarly in the 23rd century, Janet Hester and a team of scientists at the Deneva did further research on transporter technology. The first Earth starship to use a transporter rated for living matter was the NX-class Enterprise in 2151. A popular biography of Erickson was published, c. Prior to the rediscovery of the Terra 10 expedition, and the knowledge of Blakeney's final fate, he was thought to be not only the inventor of the device, but the first human being to put himself through it. ( TAS: ' The Terratin Incident')Įmory Erickson is often credited with being the 'Father of the Transporter'. Descendants of the Terra 10 generation-ship expedition of 2070, when rediscovered in the 23rd century, possessed the technology. Transporter theory and technology were not totally lost with Blakeney's disappearance, however. He mysteriously disappeared in 2052 and no substantive developments were made in the field for at least fifty years. One of Blakeney's last developments was developing transporter tech that did not require a receiving station. Initially, the process required both sending and receiving stations. (The outcry was fostered by Earth's Global Transportation Consortium, which had controlled all air, sea and ground travel technology since 2012.)

These experiments met with public outcry based on ignorance of the physics (and speculations of the metaphysics) of the process. In the 2040s and 50s, Colin Blakeney performed early experiments with transporter technology and had succeeded in transporting a live chicken and a chimpanzee.
