YASID: null bomb

The book in question was a space opera, probably 1985-1995.

The plot was: a wormhole stargate type technology was developed and
many planets were colonized, but the technology caused the universe to
be disrupted and the technology was abandoned.  An agent (male) and
a telepath communicator (female) were sent to a relatively high tech
colony to make sure the colony wasn't building things that would cause
further disruption.

FTL travel was through the only available means, a limited size stargate
that required that their bodies be chopped up and sent in  a pipe
of some small diameter, to be regenerated at the STL ****p?/space station? 
at the receiving end.

The technology could be use for other things, one item was the "null
bomb".
