Emergency transport unit

The emergency transport unit was a portable transporter device developed by Starfleet in 2378. The small device was designed to provide an individual with a single, one-way transport in order to escape a potentially dangerous situation.

The first successful field test of the emergency transport unit occurred during the Battle of the Bassen Rift, when Data used the prototype to beam Jean-Luc Picard to the USS Enterprise-E before destroying the thalaron weapon aboard the Reman warbird Scimitar.
