Jump ships are starships capable of faster-than-light travel, using specialized jumpdrives.[1] Jump drive technology was considered to be a state secret by the Galactic Empire, leading to only the Empire utilizing them.[2]
Jump ships were operated by spacers,[1] genetically bred Humans capable of undergoing the rigors of faster-than-light travel without being affected by the discontinuity of the jump.[3] Jump ships were chartered by the Empire to transport citizens between planets, such as from Synnax to Trantor,[1] and from Trantor to the Maiden.[3] The Imperial military used its own version of jump ships, including the Aegis[3] and the Invictus[2], as well as the Rubicon (Emperor Cleon's personal jumpship).
