Game art of ships entering hyperspace
Hyperspace is the means of interstellar travel in the Sector. To enter hyperspace a fleet must travel to a jump point, where it can then perform a jump into hyperspace. Fleets can exit hyperspace at jump points, or at the gravity wells around gas giants and stars. When in hyperspace and not close to a star, fleets will receive a +5 bonus to their normal burn speed.
Travelling in hyperspace uses fuel. If a fleet runs out of fuel while in hyperspace it will drift towards the nearest gravity well and fall back into normal space there.
There are two types of Jump Points; one-way (or gravity well) points including stars and gas giants. These can only be accessed from hyperspace and can not be used in system; additionally, a star requires level 7 in the Navigation skill to be usable as a jump point. The other kind can be used to both access Hyperspace for entrance and exit. Two can be found in each system, a primary jump point that usually orbits the system's major planet, and a Fringe Jump Point which revolves around the Sun farther out than the farthest planet.
