Time In Jump

The Time In Jump or TIJ is an inexact measure of the amount of time spent in jumpspace once FTL travel has been initiated.

TIJ Specifications

TIJ Specifications
Category	Specifications	Remarks
Name	Jump Drive	Only the six Major Races are believed to have independently developed FTL propulsion. Jump travel is not well understood. Most believe it to be a gravitic effect.
Duration	Determinate (fixed) 168 hours (+/- 10%)	Starships remain in jump space for roughly a week no matter the distance traversed by the jump. Starships can coordinate jump travel with exact timing. While jumps can be coordinated, ships cannot travel together. All starships in J-space appear alone and isolated.

History & Background (Dossier)

While the duration of conventional Jump Drive travel remains 168 hours (+/- 10%), it is believed that more advanced FTL Drives may be able to reduce this time.
