In both the original and the cut intro, the Sleeper ships make a jump of some kind in order to escape the Coalition.
(Even I have to admit I always found that a bit strange and contradictory. Perhaps it was simply short-distance warp).
Just rewatched the intro. Looks like the ships went from thrust to cruise speed (or something between "warp" and "impulse" if this were Startrek). "Jumping" would be them disappearing in one place and re-appearing somewhere else.
You might be correct in that case actually. Maybe it's a higher form of cruise speed.
