Or what I proposed/suggested. It's not THAT out of the realm of possibilities.

From the commodity itself: "These devices control and maniuplaye the intense gravitational fields that are generated by Jump Drives, enabling the creation of a temporary, stable rift in space through whcih a vessel may pass without being ripped apart." I don't see how that could not be applied to a planetary gravitational field and allow for that temporary, stable rift to be how one uses a Docking Ring and lands on a planet.
