A Jump Bridge is a deep space refueling point used to bridge small rifts in space.
- Such points often consist of a group of ice asteroids and refueling facilities.
Please refer to the following AAB library data for more information:
- Starship
- NAFAL
- FTL
- Battle Tender (Carrier)
- Jump Conveyor
- Jump Drive
Description (Specifications)
Jump bridges are vital to interstellar trade since the slower less capable jump ships travel with much greater economy and significantly less expensive fuel use.
There was a saying on Old Terra that the "Slow boat to China is the only sure way." Jump Drives can be relied upon, but misjumps still occur. However, regardless of general jump drive reliability, the greatest economies of scale (...and profits) are still found with the venerable J-1 jump drive. Travellers and traders still enjoy the J-1 drive and the "slow boat to China."
Jump bridges allow J-1's to traverse longer jumps... for a price. They operate today in a similar fashion to the canals on many oceanic worlds do for maritime ships.
History & Background (Dossier)
Pretoria Subsector in Deneb Sector operates two bridges that connect the subsector capital, Pretoria (Deneb 0406) with two jump-1 mains, giving free traders and other commercial ships access to 33 worlds.
