Jump Bridge

A jump bridge is a form of stargate. It is used by ships in space to cross vast distances in near-instantaneous time scales by means of wormhole.

Unlike conventional gates, which rely on technology developed by the Ancients, jump bridges use modern methods of synthesizing temporary wormholes on demand to create limited yet highly versatile connections between distant sectors.

In addition to their adjustable properties, jump bridges are also very difficult to intercept and trace, meaning that they may be used to move large fleets between areas that would be otherwise unreachable without imparting a jump signature in both locations. It is for this reason that jump bridges are often secluded from commercial traffic (or local traffic entirely) and may be very well-defended.
