About: Mass shadow   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

In hyperspace, a mass shadow was the gravitational signature of a large object in normal space. Since those shadows were potentially lethal to any starship traveling too near, it was necessary to avoid colliding with them by plotting precisely calculated hyperspace jumps. By simulating the gravity shadow of a celestial body, a ship's travel through hyperspace could be halted or their jump to hyperspace rendered impossible within an interdiction field.
