The Spindle Station: Book 2 Of The Alliance Conflict - Plot & Excerpts
There was no traffic control, automated or otherwise between Opron and Trilon, so Ella simply input the coordinates, ran a simulation, and finally verified that all jump status showed ready. Ella said, “Captain, We are ready to jump to Trilon.” “What is the status of the jump engines and the power reservoir?” asked Solear. Ella replied, “The jump engines are operating in an acceptable range. Energy reservoir is at 33%. We have enough power for another jump. We are traveling at .005 light and estimate exiting at .002 light.” It takes a tremendous amount of initial power to create a hyperspace window. Once open though, the window takes a negligible amount of energy to maintain. As a result, ships used stored energy to create the window and then recharge the energy reservoir during flight. Because Alliance warships have one energy reservoir that is shared between the ion cannon and the jump drive, a hostile situation could literally come down to a fight or flight decision. If Captain Solear decides to fire the ion cannon, it would take approximately 80 minutes to recharge the reservoir enough to jump.
