Zip Space
Z-Space is the primary method of FTL travel in the galaxy. Though little is truly understood about Z-Space, what is known is that it is an alternate dimensional plane that seems to operate somewhat similarly to a wormhole. However, it seems as though the "wormhole" and "plotted planing" is more finding an exact entrance and exit in the plane that corresponds with the intended destination specifically from the entry point.
The area seems to be composed of bright, white light with static-like streaks of darkness permeating it. The brightness of the plane is such that ships are set to automatically darken all viewports during entry to ensure that their occupants aren't permanently blinded.
Firing ship-mounted weapons is highly discouraged into Z-Space as it is said to potentially alter the state of the dimension and fully corrupt the planned entry/exit points. Exiting the dimension from any non-planned exit point has reportedly dropped ships along their path, into dimensional pockets, or across the galaxy. Several ships have disappeared in Z-Space, though it is unknown whether this was due to a malfunction or a mistake of dropping out early on their part and ending up in another object. It has been proven that exiting Z-Space may deposit a ship into a sun or planet, thus standard procedure is to plan jumps to and from the farthest edges of an intended system to prevent accidental, fatal collisions.
