A Jump Point is a location within the gravity wells of stars, where near instant interstellar travel from system to system is made possible. Ships equipped with Jump Engines, ships serviced by a Jump Tender, and ships using Jump Gates can jump via Jump Points.
Each discovered system has at least one Jump Point, but many have multiple connections forming a weblike node network making up the known regions of the galaxy. Without them, interstellar travel would be impossible, since the speeds required for interstellar travel in a human lifetime far exceed what current methods of spacecraft propulsion can provide.
The key to discovering Jump Points and the methods to utilize them was the discovery of Trans-Newtonian Elements making interstellar exploration, commerce, and warfare possible. All known space-faring species are restricted by this limitation, with no known technological alternatives.
