Jump events are whirlpools of space/time left after a ship leaves or enters the Void.
The larger the ship, the larger the jump event.
Deric spent the next couple of hours riveted to the search scans, taking brief pauses to check his squadron status, it was during one of these that Shelidra Matninger his XO broke the routine.

The model of Talon fighter that she was in boasted an improved sensor package that had half again the range and sensitivity of Deric’s.

CyberLink
This writeup is for the Omega campaign setting, tho it appears in Phoenix Dawn as the headset computer.
Descriptions are the same, and both were inspired by too many episodes of
Earth 2. CYBERLINK
Replacing PDAs, cellular phones and the like by 2050, the CyberLink combines a communicator, a Level 3(8 function point) computer, a holoprojector and a chronograph into a unit which fits around the wearer's head.
The holoprojector is a recticle extending from the earpiece and fitting over the wearer's right eye, while a microphone extends from the earpiece to just below the user's mouth. The computer itself is built into the brace leading from the top of the earpiece and wrapping across the top of the user's head.
The CyberLink(or Link) is operated solely by voice command and has several plasma matrix memory modules surface mounted into the system mainboard.
The Link weighs in at 0.5 kg, due to lightweight materials, and costs 10,500 credits.
