Hyperspace skipping


Hyperspace skipping, also known as lightspeed skipping, was a technique that could be used to quickly jump to hyperspace in a starship. However, hyperspace skipping was dangerous, and could put undue stress on the ship, as well as place it in a dangerous location when it exited lightspeed.

Driven to a desperate gambit, Tomasso, a high ranking-member of the Spice Runners of Kijimi was forced to hastily teach the technique to the new recruit Poe Dameron as a means of escaping the gang's rivals, the Zualjinn Syndicate. The gamble paid off, resulting in Dameron being able to bring the gang's ship Ragged Claw to a crash-landing at their intended destination on the planet Sorgan.

While attempting to escape First Order forces at the colony in the Sinta Glacier in the Millennium Falcon, Dameron used hyperspace skipping, traveling through the Crystal Chaos of the Cardovyte, the Mirror-Spires of Ivexia, and the Megafauna Chasm of Typhonic Nebula, before eventually returning to the Resistance base on Ajan Kloss.
