| has gloss | eng: In the fictional Babylon 5 universe, a Jump Gate is a static emplacement that creates an energy vortex, called a Jump Point, to allow vessels to travel to and from hyperspace for interstellar travel. In the Babylon 5 universe, hyperspace is a dimension running parallel to normal space, in which the distances between points are radically shorter. Jump gates also have beacons that allow vessels in hyperspace to lock on to a beacon and avoid getting lost. Amongst the "younger" races of the galaxy, jump gates are a vital part of interstellar travel. |
