  Jump Gates

     I only saw a few Babylon-5 episodes, and enjoyed them very much. I have

     some

     questions about gate technology. Are jumps made gate-to-gate? What is
     the

     gate-to-gate range? Can a gate fling an STL ship to some point in space
     not

     a

     gate, if so how far? How fast to ships with their own jump point

     generators travel?

         Gates are doorways to hyperspace. Any ship can fly there, once it's
         in.

         Small ships use a established gate, or can tag along when a large,
         gate-

         generator equipped ship opens a gate.

         Gates are only entrances. They don't propel or guide the ship.
