View source for Alien Arches

{{Spoiler}}
'''Alien Arches''' are pieces of [[Precursor Race|Precursor]] technology. They resemble large gateways and have a green, semi-transparent portal within. The [[Prawn Suit]] and the [[Seamoth]] have the ability to enter '''Alien Arches'''.

When the player enters an '''Alien Arch''', it plays an SFX similar to when a [[Warper]] warps the player.

==Arch Types==
===Master===
The '''Master Arches''' have pedestals and must be powered using an [[Ion Cube]]. They are connected to a slave '''Arch'''.

===Slave===
The '''Slave Alien Arches''' do not have pedestals, and their corresponding master '''Alien Arches''' must be activated before these gates can be used.

This structure's intended purpose is unclear. Possible theories:

* Ceremonial or religious role
* Industrial applications
* Advanced transportation network

It may be prudent to search the area for further examples of alien architecture and technology.

Scans indicate this warp gate has not been active since the facility was abandoned. It likely served as an access point to the surface of the planet. It is much too small for the emperor specimen to pass through, but may accommodate a juvenile specimen.
