Jump Bridge

Description

This new jump technology appears to be designed by the Cirin Alliance and is likely exclusive to them at the present time. The only known implementation of the technology is a large Ship or Station which is capable of bringing objects safely out of riftspace in their original profile, even in areas of concentrated gravitic anomalies. The technology is incredibly ineffecient, requiring mass amounts of energy and creating a large EMP upon use, but is capable of moving entire fleets of ships that may otherwise be incapable of travel through riftspace.^{CD Page-06.25}

Additional Information

Speculation

It is speculated that this technology actually involves two such ships or stations which work together to send objects safely through riftspace between them. Since the ships involved in the only known test of the technology had no jump drives or stabilisers^{CD Page-06.17}, it is further speculated that the sending/receiving ships actually use jump drives to create a sort of temporary tunnel through riftspace between them. Leading back to the example of the icecube melting through the gaps in a sponge, Jump Bridges would actually be the equivalent of creating a temporary hole in the sponge to pass the icecube through without melting it.^{CD Page-BF.04.01}
