 ==Description==
 ===FreeSpace 2 Tech Description===
 The subspace portal was discovered in the Gamma Draconis system in 2367. The interlocking circular motions of its components apparently create a subspace vortex that connects the Gamma Draconis system to another part of our universe.  Dr. Hargrove's team continues to study the device, though their findings are highly classified.

 ==Known Knossos devices==
 ===Knossos 1===
 Discovered in Gamma Draconis by NTF forces, and activated by the [[NTC Trinity|NTC ''Trinity'']], this device connected GTVA space with the [[Nebula System|nebula]]. As the only easily accessible example of this device, it was extensively studied, but was eventually destroyed by Allied demolition teams in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the [[Shivans]]' entry into the [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance]]'s core systems.  Before that time, the scientific team studying the device was able to gather enough information such that something similar could conceivably be constructed to reestablish contact with the [[Sol]] system.
