<p>TyndallAddisen: </p> <hr /> <div>A '''blind jump''' is an operation in which a ship makes an [[FTL]] jump to a random location.<br /> <br /> Blind jumps are usually done in the most dire of combat circumstances when a few seconds could mean preservation or destruction. In a blind jump, the [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Navigation Computer|navigation computer]] is bypassed and the jump system is most likely provided with a random set of coordinates with only sparse safeguards before the jump is executed. This greatly increases the chances of the ship being in danger after the jump (impact with ships, planets or other bodies). <br /> <br /> The odds of such a calamity occurring would seem to be minuscule, given the vast magnitude of space, however the fear that the characters have of taking blind jumps may suggest danger is more probable than one may expect.<br /> <br /> A blind jump was ordered by [[Helena Cain|Admiral Helena Cain]] to avoid destruction of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' during the Cylon [[Fall of the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards|attack]] on the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]] (&quot;[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]&quot;, &quot;[[Razor]]&quot;).<br /> <br /> &quot;[[Galactica]]&quot; herself executes a blind jump of sorts at the conclusion of the [[Battle of the Colony]] in order to escape the critically damaged [[Colony]]. The coordinates used were inputted manually by [[Kara Thrace]].<br /> <br /> Under normal corcumstances, it is not an option for the Fleet, as ships would jump to different locations without any chance of reuniting.<br /> <br /> [[Category: A to Z]] <br /> [[Category: Terminology]] <br /> [[Category: RDM]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Blinder Sprung]]<br /> [[es:Salto a ciegas]]</div>
