A '''portal''' (sometimes capitalized, as "Portal") is a weakness in the fabric between [[dimension]]s — that is, a point of [[Inter-Dimensional Fatigue]]. All known portals are circular (though those generated by [[gravity well]]s might actually be spherical).

Known instances of portals are the portals generated by [[HyperDrive]], the portal generated by the [[QuasiSpace Portal Spawner]], the unidirectional portals from [[HyperSpace]] to [[TrueSpace]] formed by the gravity wells of TrueSpace stars, the fifteen unidirectional portals that lead from QuasiSpace to HyperSpace, and the bidirectional portal to [[QuasiSpace]] (at HyperSpace coordinates 043.8 : 637.2). Since the [[Arilou Lalee'lay]] [[List of homeworlds|homeworld]], [[Falayalaralfali]], is suspended in a bubble of TrueSpace within QuasiSpace, it is possible that its intrusion into QuasiSpace is also a portal. The [[Orz]] [[Orz communications|dialogue]] also contains a possible reference to portals ("Then the Androsynth made some *slippery places* and then Orz can *smell* [the [[Human]]s' *level*].").

Portals from TrueSpace to HyperSpace can reach huge sizes. The one used by the [[Androsynth]] fleet to escape [[Sol]] was 500 km in diameter.{{ref|1}}
