The Subspace Network is a transportation device that allows near instantaneous travel between two points.
The node is spherical in shape with symbols and iconography on the outside. When the numbers are punched in for the desired co-ordinates for travel, the symbols rotate, glow and move into a horizontal position after each press until the desired sequence is complete (i.e. the horizontal sequence will match the co-ordinates that have been punched in). When the co-ordinates match to another node, a corridor between the two nodes is established and the sphere splits in two vertically allowing any form of matter or transmission to pass through.
Principles of the technology.
The SubSpace Network works in the same manner as a computer network more specifically like a network router. Each point of entrance/exit is called a node and each node communicates with each other even when not in use. Each node has a co-ordinate depending on it's location in the universe this co-ordinate is used to put into the targeting computer which tells the entrance node where to look.
Each node communicates to nearby nodes to calibrate for planetary movements, black holes and anomolies. It builds up a database that includes nodes that have stopped communicating, this helps the entrance node find the quickest way to the exit node. When matter (scientists call this a packet) enters the node for transport it reduces the mass of the matter, places the matter inside a bubble and fires the matter close to the speed of light, along the established corridor to the next node. The next node does not have to be the exit node. If it is not the exit node refers the transporting matter to the next node until it reaches the exit node. If any nodes are interrupted or fail whilst the matter is being sent, reports have been established that the nearest node detects the failure and attracts the corridor to itself as a fail-safe. Each node can establish many connections, so whilst transmitting a new Packet it can also be relaying thousands of existing Packets at the same time and also queue up exit and entrance packets (no more then 100 entrance packets and there is no reported limit for exit packets).
Data transmissions do not need to open the sphere for transport by appending a specific tag to the co-ordinates. The node transmits data/stimulated radiation through a much smaller corridor then what is used for matter packets, close to the speed of light. This allows a higher bandwidth and can establish billions of connections per second.

History.
The humans discovered their local node on the silver moon, the moon is the satellite that revolves around the ring of Orbis. During the Space Race between the Blackstone Corporation, United Federation of Aquatania (UFA), the local node was discovered after a stand-off by chief Research Scientist of the Blackstone Corporation, Minerva Blackstone. Secret documents that were stolen from Blackstone revealed that the reason for their clamour to space was because they were aware of the node and its purpose. The UFA was just reactionary, trying to be the first to reach the Silver Moon. The authenticity of the leaked document, however, cannot be verified. Whilst the standoff lingered on and the information filtered down of the discoveries on the Silver Moon, the other nations in including the UFA but excluding the Blackstone Corporation who would not come to the negotiation table, reached consensus that co-operation was needed to resolve the stand-off above them. The 13 nations around the table reached an agreement and formed the Orbis Accord. The reason for this was so that another war would not commence between the nations, who may feel now that one nation had too far an advantage over the others and that all future research on the Silver Moon will be co-operative.
The Blackstone Corporation were forced to back down by unilateral action that included embargos, sanctions and an amassing of military forces off the coasts of Blackstone territory. Eventually, Blackstone were forced to deal with the Orbis Accord by acceding to it and becoming a part of it.
A task force of research and military personnel were sent to the Silver Moon to reveal the secrets that permeate every surface of the Silver Moon.
5 years later after careful research, the node was activated and the first transport through was initiated to an uninhabited planet at the other side of the galaxy.
Another treaty was delivered by all nations forming the Orbis Union which bound the nations into a federation, Blackstone excluded but they have negotiated a separate agreement renting use of the node, whom maintain the node and is now run as a starport/military installation.
Many theories as to the origins of the network vary. The leading theory is that a race built the network but have left the galaxy for an unknown reason that historians and scientists are trying to piece together. It may also lead to an understanding of the origins of Orbis as it is believed to be constructed by the same race that built the node and the same understandings of the node have revealed a number of secrets that reside in monuments and temples that previously were thought to be religious/cultural constructs from ancient human civilizations.
