A '''jump tunnel''' (traversable wormhole) is a naturally-occurring topological feature in spacetime that effectively allows for superliminal travel through [[interspace]] across vast distances. Accessed through [[jump point]]s, jump tunnels allow spacefaring civilizations to easily and quickly travel to other planetary systems that would normally only be accessible after years, sometimes decades of [[Quantum drive|quantum travel]]. Though jump tunnels can be stabilized and often have incredibly long lives, they are known to collapse without warning.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=galactapedia/article/bBp6Bx33wm-jump-tunnel|text=Galactapedia: Jump Tunnel (January 30, 2020)}}</ref>
