Throughout the series we saw a teleporter used aboard the Liberator and then again aboard Scorpio. This enabled instantaneous ship to planetside
transportation without the hassle of using shuttles, it also helped Blake and his crew out of many a scrape with the Federation.
In both cases the teleporter depended on the passenger wearing a wrist bracelet or transmission and recall. Built into the bracelets was a
communicator which would allow the crew to talk to the control desk whilst they were away from the ship.
To the right we see Vila teleporting directly into a Federation communications base on planet Centero, Seek-Locate-Destroy.
To the right is a replica of a Liberator wrist bracelet created by Kevin Davies. The rack beside the teleport bay could hold 32 of these bracelets, as shown in The Keeper. It was seen to be half empty in Cygnus Alpha but then full in Redemption, so there must have been a store of them somewhere. Blake recognised the bracelets as containing aquitar and he was the first person to use the teleporter
when he teleported down to Cygnus Alpha for a test and reconnaissance mission.

Once Avon, with the help of Orac, had completed the teleporter on Scorpio the crew were able to travel in the same way as they had on the Liberator. To the left is a replica Scorpio bracelet as
created by Kevin Davies. Besides the obvious difference in design from the Liberator bracelet this version may have contained more functionality because Tarrant was able to identify a leakage
of paraflame-5 using his bracelet. The rack inside the teleport room could hold seven to eight of these bracelets, as seen in Headhunter.
