In fact, they now look like the original Anodynes, which strangely fits with some of the changes I was doing (they have mineral crusts, and I was giving novakids BONES OF CRYSTAL).
Don't worry, they're not made of gas. Just their blood.
Anodynes? Neat, I always liked them (to be honest I actually much preferred their design over the Novakids... However, you can't beat the Novakids' SPACE TRAINS!). HOWEVER... It still doesn't answer the question of how they locomote or are... well... alive, considering what they're made of... I mean, "liquefied stardust" isn't much better than Gas.

This method causes quantum particles at the target destination to be artificially quantum entangled with the particles of the ship. The ship then sends out an impulse to "tell" the quantum particles that the ship is actually at the destination and not at it's current location.
The fold itself is instantaneous but the particles take some time to be entangled.
You see, this is why I'm scared of "real" teleportation using quantum entanglement. If this is the same as what I'm thinking, it basically exactly copies everything within a space and then decomposes the original. As in, you suddenly cease to exist and an exact copy of you then pops up elsewhere.
In a sci-fi setting, though, it could be closer to described where it tricks the universe into actually swapping the particles' locations.
