Tohr Exility Capsule

The Tohr Exility Capsule or TEC system is a line of products designed to store vast amounts of premade material in a small, convenient storage space. With the press of a button, a capsule will release its contents in a relatively safe manner.

Tohr maintains the patent and presence as the sole manufacturer of the TEC. They are also the only ones (as present), with the ability to fill the capsules with larger content, such as houses and vehicles. Smaller things, such as bikes, ovens, and dressers are able to be stored via a kit publically sold.

Tohr has released many lines of TEC in order to satisfy the many needs of their vast consumer base.

  • Housing (Green) - The Housing line is their most expensive line, and with good reason. A single Housing capsule can contain anything from a simple, serviceable shack to a properly sized two family home, with appliances and portable generators in tow.
  • Construction (Yellow) - The Construction line covers a wide stretch of products, from material palettes to construction vehicles. Unfortunately, construction Frames and other such things have trouble condensing, but Tohr scientists are on the verge of correcting this problem.
  • Vehicle (Blue) - Vehicles are a bit trickier, not for physical problems but due to licensing, so vehicles available change from season to season. But any vehicle sold comes with a full tank of fuel, charge, or whatever power method.
  • Portable (Red) - From toasters to portable generators to tents to fishing gear, this is a line dedicated to those that need to set up a facility in a hurry. On any occassion where a natural disaster hits, Tohr makes a fortune selling these at cost with a small percentage on top.
  • Clothing (Purple) - Like the portability line, this is a very much an “emergency situation” line of products, though usually for different reasons. Oftentimes, the clothing contained will be mundane and serviceable, but on occasion they partner with designers for special releases.
  • Consumeable (Orange) - These capsules contain anything from a single meal to a full banquet. Very popular during holiday seasons when time runs out for cooking.
  • Blank (Writeable) - These are blank capsules that are usually sold with or as resupplies for a packing kit, for filling your own TECs.

The capsule is rather innocent in form being a prolate spheroid shape about two inches in diameter. The capsules have a grey base color with a designating colour strip around the equator indicating the kind of object held within. Each TEC weights 60g regardless of contents.

For safety reasons the TEC must be activated prior to deployment to avoid unintentional activation. Each capsule or set comes with a small key tool that the TEC, once placed, primes it for use.

The TEC's functions are based on a spacial compression technology that allows a predefined space to be packaged into an arbitrarily sized container. It locks the contents in a spacial bubble that maintains its initial interior size while the edges of the space are warped. The capsule itself contains a small fuel source and the minimum amount of electronics needed to pierce the spacial bubble releasing the object stored within.

Due to the nature of the technology, if the TEC is destroyed without being properly activated the object remains trapped within the spacial pocket and remains inaccessible without specialized equipment. Because of this Tohr advises careful handling of TECs, and in the event of an accident provides a service to locate and retrieve isolated material at a cost.

While this technology allows for the storage of anything from trinkets to buildings, the limiting factor comes in the form of static, large, power hungry equipment that must be used to preform the initial spacial compression. Given that Tohr maintains a monopoly on the technology required to produce them, TECs are considered disposable goods as they are one time use with no ability to repackage the object once used.
