This device generates a small
pocket dimension. If the PUG is installed within a vehicle,
objects placed within the pocket universe do not count against the
volume or mass of the vehicle, however, the generator itself does
count against these values.
Sensors, weapons, communicators,
or drives that require interaction with the outside are rarely
usable from within the pocket universe unless they themselves work
across dimensions, but extra-dimensional quarters, cargo holds, or
fuel tanks are common applications. Because the pocket universe is
simply a pinched-off piece of space-time, wormholes and stargates
will function perfectly well within it; indeed the dimensional
interface is itself a wormhole.
Each pocket universe requires a
dimensional interface (the generator) installed in real space.
If the interface is damaged or powered down, the contents of the
pocket universe pop back into real space (which can be pretty
devastating if the pocket universe is fairly large). Sometimes
this is done to renovate or upgrade the interior. Because the
pocket universe is simply a part of real space that has been pinched
off, it can be accessed using the Quantum Proto-Dimensions of its
parent universe.
Note: This device is based upon the
"Extradimensional Interior" option in GURPS Vehicles Expansion 1,
page 25. It has been rated here for use with FF&S.
