Jump modules have the following characteristics: {{RSIForumComment|ref=yes|comnum=3616448|text=Jump Drive Characteristics}}
*'''Recharge time:''' number of minutes between jumps.
*'''Fuel efficiency:''' number of jumps without refueling.
*'''Signature:''' easily detectable 'flash,' or silenced approach.
*'''Damage:''' where hull damage translates to hits on internal components.
*'''Quality:''' % of chance you'll have a flameout/failed jump/etc.

== Lore ==
The first human to "jump" was [[Nick Croshaw]] when, In 2271, he modified his quantum drive and jumped through a wormhole into what is now the [[Croshaw system]]. [[Roberts Space Industries]], spotting an opportunity, quickly developed their own jump drive called the [[QM-Core XII]] and sold it at exorbitant prices to billionaires and governments. 

Two mechanics sought to bring jump drives to explorers, [[Tara Dilione]] and [[Alfonsus Carbrino]]. Working together, they researched jump drives and worked on jump ships until they realized that RSI hadn't developed a true jump drive, they had simply modified an existing Quantum drive into a Nick (Named after Nick Croshaw).

For the next 27 months, the pair worked, tested, and eventually released the "Tarsus" device in November 7, 2292. The Tarsus was capable of modifying any quantum drive into a jump drive safely and reliably.<ref>{{Cite RSI|text=Portfolio - Tarsus Electronics|int=Comm-Link:Portfolio - Tarsus Electronics|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15371-Portfolio-Tarsus-Electronics}}</ref>
