Editing Combat jump

A '''combat jump''' is an [[FTL|FTL jump]] in which the exit co-ordinates are likely to put the jumping vessel in harm's way, with a high probability of an armed exchange directly following or soon after the jump. Preparation for a combat jump involves different procedures than a standard jump. These are likely to include things such as:

*Arming and posting of [[Colonial Marine Corps|Marine]] defense teams in order to repel potential boarding parties

*The loading of additional {{RDM|Viper}}s to supplement the [[Alert fighters|alert fighters]]

The vessel's Commanding Officer will also likely order [[Action stations|Condition One]] to be set, readying the ship for an immediate engagement following the jump. 

==Notes==

* The battlestar ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' makes a combat jump shortly before [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]] and the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]]. ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' makes a combat jump to initiate the [[Battle of New Caprica]]. It should be noted, however, that in the latter two instances, the jump is not immediately followed by combat.
