	The '''QuasiSpace Portal Spawner''' is a device constructed by the [[Arilou Lalee'lay]] for [[The Flagship]] as a favor to [[The Captain]] during the [[Star Control II]] time period. It is a variant on the Arilou's standard [[QuasiSpace]] Portal Spawners, devices which use [[Inter-Dimensional Fatigue]] technology to create a temporary overlap between the dimensions of [[HyperSpace]] and QuasiSpace, allowing the Arilou to jump into QuasiSpace without going to the trouble of finding one of the rare, intermittently active natural [[portal]]s. The process of creating such portals is extremely energy-intensive and dependent on the portal's size; this is probably one of the primary limiting factors leading to the relatively small size of the standard Arilou [[Skiff]].
