** The human jumper has the added bonus of only allowing humans to survive the jump with their sanity intact, which is good for humans, as the Conclave has a habit of destroying races that serve no useful purpose to it (even if they don't pose a threat). The greatest fear is aliens learning to survive the jump, and all pilots have standing orders to destroy the ship in the event this happens (they may even choose the means to do so: self-destruct, fry the jumper which earns you a slow death, or enter into an uncontrollable series of [[Blind Jump]]s until you run out of power).

* Played mostly straight in ''[[Lacuna]]'', where the jump drive allows the crew to travel to anywhere in the galaxy where there's no significant gravitational pull. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, doing so has a slight chance of creating a horrific, ever expanding [[Negative Space Wedgie]] which very very slowly destroys the universe. The Toralii know about this and attack anyone who possess jump drive.}} |
