The most likely reason is a very, very poor navigation roll (which is likely to result in a mishap that is really not all that bad) or damage to the Jump Drive or Computer of the ship before it Jumps.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-7641661451084180382013-03-07T10:28:10.366-05:002013-03-07T10:28:10.366-05:00In your example, two 1 week long jumps.

In other words, when you say "A Jump-2 vessel will take two weeks to go 4 parsecs, etc." does that Jump-2 vessel make two one week jumps or a single long jump of 2 weeks in J-Space?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231423670489116607noreply@blogger.com
