One of the Droid Discovery Ships seems to punch a hole in space during a stopover near the Qallag system. Without drugs, human, Tyran, and Chiasmii pilots often suffer extreme jumpsickness when "shooting the flames", a reference to the "flaming hole" left by a ship's jump engines. The Kin do not suffer jumpsickness.
Stars appear blurred during the transition from hyperspace to realspace. While in hyperspace, they disappear, leaving the sky completely black.
