A Jump Flash is a release of excess energy released when an FTL starship equipped with a jump drive leaves or enters jumpspace.

Description (Specifications)

P 115. Entry Jump Flash standard = Ship Size +4. Exit Jump Flash standard =Ship Size +2

P. 118 Jump Entry Flash

A ship entering Jump Space emits an active flash of broad spectrum energy (detectable as Electronics and Photonics) equal to Ship Size plus Mod +4. The ship’s gravitational signature (detectable as Gravitics) vanishes from any sensors.

Entry Flash is subject to lightspeed and lasts about a minute at peak strength. It then degrades -1 every minute until it becomes undetectable.

Jump Exit Flash

A ship leaving Jump Space emits an active flash of broad spectrum energy (Electronics and Photonics) equal to Ship Size plus Mod +2 (slightly less than Entry Flash). The gravitational signature (detectable by Gravitics) appears on any suitable sensors. Exit Flash is subject to lightspeed and lasts about a minute at peak strength. It degrades -1 every minute until it becomes undetectable.
