Jump Point

A jump point is a point in space that marks the opening of a traversable wormhole (jump tunnel) that tunnels through interspace and opens to another location, often a different solar system. In their natural state, jump points are nearly invisible to the naked eye. Their discovery has allowed civilizations to cross vast distances in the universe. Known, stabilized jump points are marked off with large structures and usually patrolled to ensure that they have been legally and safely traversed.
