Intersystem jump drive

Gregster:

''For subspace travel within a system, please see '''[[intrasystem jump drive]]'''.''

'''Intersystem jump drives''' enable a spacecraft to enter a [[subspace node]]. They are generally found on capital ships or other large craft. Through the end of the [[Great War]], they were considered too expensive to place in small craft such as [[fighters]] except in extreme emergency, such as in the [[GTA]]'s desperate attack against the [[SD Lucifer]] in [[Subspace]].

During the [[Second Shivan Incursion]], the [[GTVA]] granted the use of fighter-size intersystem jump drives to [[SOC]] for their reconnaissance mission beyond [[Gamma Draconis]], and to the elite [[70th Blue Lions]] during the final evacuation of [[Capella]].

Intrasystem jump drive

Gregster:

''For subspace travel via jump nodes between star systems, please see '''[[intersystem jump drive]]'''.''

The first '''intrasystem jump drive''' is the baseline subspace drive, developed before intersystem drives; it was present during the post-age of space exploration and colonization.

Intrasystem jump drives enable a ship to jump from one location in the system to another, quickly and (relatively) precisely. A jump drive of this kind does not need an intersystem [[jump node|subspace node]], only the presence of a significant gravity well.

While subspace travel from one system to another in an intersystem jump takes a variable but relatively brief amount of time (the Lucifer's transit took fifteen minutes), an intrasystem jump is described as "nearly instantaneous."
