Yes, I thought it was a long range gate, which was to go way past kusari and in the first test, the wormhole passed through the darkmatter clouds of galileo, which caused the darkmatter to come back through on the other side.
The question though.... if there is a disaster site on this side in texas, where is the other gate/site?

1. The other half was disassembled.
2. The gate only needed a structure on one side, I think this is more likely considering it was an advanced unit.
Also I believe jump holes are not a naturally occurring phenomenon, but a by product of all of the gates that are being built. After all if JH were readily findable and available then the first Liberty exploration ship wouldn't have needed months to move house to house.

They would have needed that time, since they didn't know where the holes were. Most holes are in dangerous nebulas or places, that exploreres prob wouldnt go to.

Maybe it was a one-way gate; if the first jump would have been successful, they could have send the equipment to build another one after the scout.

Most holes are in asteroid fields, really primarily dangerous due to pirate activity that wouldn't have existed back then.
Not to mention that there must be billions on billions of Jump Holes littering the space between the stars.

True thats actually a theory I had for how the alaska gates got built.

' Wrote:Because jump holes are unstable and dangerous. They are also hard to find. Also, the field containing the Texas-California hole is said to be the remains of the gate.
But the radiation field is on the other side of the star. That makes no sense.
Quote:It was to link to outside of Sirius to another star cluster. Not the system next door.They should be working on their construction skills before they try something insane like that.
Besides, the other star cluster could be full of Nomads.

I figured it was a jumpgate to Alaska that they were making. Take a look at the backstory for yourself I would suggest.

The backstory also says that the Jump Gate sunk into "A giant singularity" a.k.a. a black hole that still sits at the edge of the system.
*Looks for a black hole*
I don't know about you, but I don't see any black holes in the system.

It took the cardi route, but ended up in Omicron-whateverthehellitisbecauseI'mtoolazytolookitup.
