Texas incident

Well, Leeds to NY in two jumps would pretty much kill all piracy

True.

Not really - you'd just have a -massive- concentration of pirates and traders on one tiny stretch. Remember the Harris disaster?

What was the Harris disaster?

um, picture a 300% profit between harris and the orbiting station.

Some say the Junkers know what caused this anomaly, but they are fearful to admit it. Avoid at all costs

I always knew those damned Junkers were hiding something.

Black holes are... black.

They kinda, y'know, blend in with space... which also happens to be black.

Accualy they are very bright. Ya know the big shiney thing in the mittle of the milky way?
Black Hole. One in evey galixey.

So thats where it went :P

So after taking a break for about a year I've decided to get back in to Disco. So yeah.

Actually, the bright thing you see in the core of a galaxy is actually a very close concentration of stars, very unstable and uninhabitable.

Black holes are completely black, you can see them only because they block the light from the stars behind them.

[cmfalconer]

Black holes are detected in several ways. observing light pattern around suspected black holes, accretion disks, gas jets, radiation observances, etc.

Jumpgates could very well be the result of Ageira observing jumpholes, combine with technology from the Valhalla cache, combining. They seem to make one-way jumpholes, instead of regular jumpholes which are two-way streets.

Jumpgates, if you watch their animation closely, seem to mimic the creation of a phase-aligned jumphole (you can't quickdock, do the normal dock from 2k away).

I like the explanation of the dark-matter cloud incident, whereby an unstable jumpgate-created jumphole brought material through instead of sending material out, and being an un-targeted jumpgate (no corresponding gate on the other side), created a jumphole in an untargetted dark-matter nebula.

All these conditions combine to cause a flood of dark matter to flow out of the wrongly-directionalized jumpgate. The dark matter combine with the already unstable hole created by the jumpgate with cataclysmic results.

Actually, encording to the extra backstory, jumpgates were the result of tech learned from the Valhalla project.

In all probability JHs are the remains of old Dam'kavosh jumpgates or a bi-product of them, possibly even a separate experiment.
