Teleport (Jedi)
Force Power: Teleport (Jedi)
Control Difficulty: Difficult
Sense Difficulty: Difficult, modified by familiarity of destination
Alter Difficulty: Difficult, modified by distance to destination.
Required Powers: Concentration, farseeing, hibernation trance, instinctive astrogation, life detection, life sense, magnify senses, projective telepathy, receptive telepathy, sense Force, telekinesis
Time to Use: Five minutes
Effect: This power allowed the user to move almost instantaneously from place to place by creating a temporary wormhole between the point of departure and the point of arrival. The user temporarily bends and folds the fabrics of space and the Force to create this passage. Once the user is through, the distortion ends. Since the user exerts total control over maintaining the passage, the passage is neither dangerous nor volatile, so there is no danger associated with the Dark Side. However, only the user can use this passage. Trying to bring another being through the passage is too taxing for the user.
Game Note: The location of the destination and the user’s familiarity with the destination are important factors in the success of this power. As such, the GM should consult the following tables when determining the modifier to the sense and alter difficulties. Casters that are attacked at the moment of teleport must cast a +25 Heroic roll to avoid death.

Background: Teleportation was a rare Force ability that enabled the user to move from one place to another almost instantaneously. To outside observers the castor becomes a dark cloud as they teleport from one location to the next. The Force Witches of Brendok were known to use this ability. Others that have used it are Darth Jadus, as well as the entity Abeloth. Darth Phobos may have also possessed this ability. Some of Palpatine’s Force Adepts who guarded his museum and vaults also possessed this power. Darth Plagueis briefly alluded to this ability as he talked of Sith who could move themselves instantaneously through time and space.
