                                  now, personal phase gates have been too expensive 
                                  and unstable for general use. The TSA stunned 
                                  the Trans-Govs by revealing they had a working 
                                  prototype &#150; a carefully timed information leak, 
                                  that had much to do with their winning the Frontiersmen 
                                  charter. Since then, it has since seen vigorous 
                                  field testing. There are still some kinks to 
                                  work out &#150; noted above. But they have become 
                                  cheap and reliable enough to enter general use. 
                                  Once in place, they make it much easier for 
                                  Frontiersmen to control an area and muster troops.
