An [[astral gate]] is a man-made shortcut that has two ends that function as both an entrance and an exit. Essentially an [[astral gate]] is a tunnel using a [[dimensional vortex]] to get from one end to the other in a predetermined path.

[[Astral gate]]s are important for traveling throughout the universe(s). Without these shortcuts, many civilizations would essentially be stranded from any other contact. Many [[astral gates]] can be configured to receive other [[astral gates]]' incoming transfers. It does not necessarily mean that [[astral gate]]s can only be paired, however, that is also possible if the need arises.

[[Astral gate]]s are typically numbered. For instance, if there were three [[astral gate]]s in the atmosphere of [[Earth]], they would be numbered as such: Earth Astral Gate 1; Earth Astral Gate 2; Earth Astral Gate 3. Short-form would be Earth AG1, Earth AG2, Earth AG3.

When multiple routes are associated with a particular gate, a letter is added to the end to signify the route, rather than the actual gate itself, as such: Earth Astral Gate 1A ([[Earth AG1A]]); Earth Astral Gate 1B ([[Earth AG1B]]); Earth Astral Gate 1C ([[Earth AG1C]])

If only one route is associated with an [[astral gate]], the route would still be called [[Earth AG1A]]. Typically [[astral gate]]s and their routes are numbered in order of age, or when they are established.

Multiple [[astral gate]] transfers are prevented by a safety system that only allows one route to be active to any particular [[astral gate]] at a time, and reserves a space of 30 seconds before and after a transfer occurs for that particular route.

An [[astral gate]] also automatically logs all transfers that go through its particular [[astral gate]], with information regarding: date, time, and identification. [[Astral gate]]s can only be activated by ships that are equipped with [[astral gate permissions]]. Ships that do not have these can potentially "manually" activate an [[astral gate]] by being recognized by an [[astral gate]] and sending it information on what route you want to use. This protocol is implemented to prevent ships from being stranded if their astral gate permission functions are not working.
