Architect Teleporter

Original speculation surrounding these alien structures posited that the gates may have been religious artifacts or industrial machines.

Further research has indicated that these gates are, in fact, medium-range teleporters that allow for the instant movement of baryonic material across space and time.

Teleportation requires the pairing of primary and secondary gates. The primary gate controls the destination and must be powered in order for materials to transfer bidirectionally. If the primary gate is not functioning, the secondary gate is rendered useless. At this time, the processes that enable this alien teleportation technology are not well understood.
