Astral gate

An astral gate or hypergate were ancient devices built by the Chrelytians and later Shavandra to achieve faster-than-light travel. These gates were extremely advamced technology capable of teleporting beings, objects or even entire spaceships to any location the user desires. The technology to built these devices was lost tens of thousands of years ago, and no species except for the Chrelytians is currently able to built such devices. Already existing astral gates are used by many people on many planets. Known locations of astral gates include Chrysalia, Shuiana, Earth, Sendac, Korraband, Nadast, Shavandaru and Chrelytium.

Description
Astral gates are known to come in two different shapes. There are roughly circular disk portals that stand upright and were always created by sentient beings. There are also beam-like portals that rise up to the sky, entering it will transport the user to a location it desires. The beam-like portals cannot be created by any means known to civilization and seem to occur naturally, though they are extremely rare. They can also be created through an immense magical outburst of energy in a small space, this happened when Alissa Vitzana blocked the ray of energy Jayden projected to her, saving him and the entire city of Bruges from destruction, ripping a hole through the fabric of reality and creating a portal. The portal subsequently forced the intergalactic community to accept Earth's place in it, as the portal could not be closed or destroyed. Beam-like portals can be created or destroyed by the Serenon.

Astral gates are different from normal portals as they are permanent unless destroyed.
