			===[[Nanojumping]]===
			Though the two terms are oftentimes confused, they have different meanings. First introduced in [[Inferno]], a nanojump is an extremely short range jump used to reach a different location of the battlefield, thus gaining a tactical advantage against enemy assets.

First appeared in [[Predator]], a short story by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Saberhagen Fred Saberhagen] released on July 8th, 1998 during the [[FreeSpace marketing campaign|marketing campaign]] of the original [[FreeSpace]], what is described as a '''microjump''' in the story matches the common definition of an [[Intrasystem jump drive|intrasystem subspace jump]] between two locations within the same star system.

In Predator, the term is used all but once: ''"[...] gave him the second or two he needed to microjump in intra-system distance, getting to a node that allowed him to escape at interstellar speed a few moments later. In moments, the strange conflict they had glimpsed was billions of kilometers behind."''

The [[canon|canonicity]] of the term is disputed, as it's never been used in FS1 or [[FreeSpace 2|FS2]]. FreeSpace 2 in particular uses the term [[Subspace#FreeSpace 2 Tech Room Description|intrasystem jump]] to define a [[subspace]] jump between two locations in the same system.
