-A Jump Point is a location where the structure of the [[Terminology:Universe|universe]] is of such a quality as to allow devices invented for the purpose, so-called [[Terminology:Jump Drive|Jump Drives]], to influence the structure in such a way that it becomes penetrable.
+A Jump Point is a location where space-time has been distorted in such a way as to allow for the efficient opening (via [[Terminology:Jump Drive|Jump Drives]]) of a shortcut between said location and another specific location, usually in another star system. Jump Points appear to be of artificial construction, connecting a large number of star systems in a [[Terminology:Jump Network|network]] that would appear to pre-date any known extant sapient species. The construction of the jump network is therefore surmised to be the work of either the [[Species:Ancients|Ancients]] or [[Species:TWHON|TWHON]], and the particular means or mechanisms by which these points in space were connected and continue to be connected remains a topic of significant research interest, but limited findings.
-The usefulness of [[Terminology:Jump Point|Jump Points]] lies therein that by penetrating the structure of the [[Terminology:Universe|universe]], one can overcome enourmous distances within no time or almost no time, whereas otherwise one would eventually have to travel for aeons --- even at the maximum speed of the fastest vessel that could possibly be [[HowTo:Create Models|built]] by the most advanced technologies yet available --- to make for the same distance.
+Transit via jump points is the primary means of interstellar travel, and jump points are thus of significant [[Manual:Warfare|military]] and economic importance.

 Since [[Terminology:Jump Point|Jump Points]] are not perceptible by the unaided senses of (most) living creatures, your ships [[Manual:Computer|computers]] create a virtual image onto your [[Manual:HUD|HUD]] to illustrate their eventual presence.
-Neither take it for granted that all [[Terminology:Jump Point|Jump Points]] can be used from all locations they may lead you to, nor remain assured of the persistency of any [[Terminology:Jump Point|Jump Point]] you discover.
