- In the Battletech universe, the term Jumpship refers to a ship capable of interstellar travel, but which lacks the large thrusters necessary for travel within a star system. General construction consists of a bulbous bridge and living quarters section at the front, a spinal section housing dropship docking rings and a capacitor bank, and the engineering section, which houses the Kearny-Fuchida FTL drive (KF Drive) and the fusion engine. In order to generate the enormous amount of power the K-F drive needs to execute an FTL jump, the jumpship deploys a thin metallic solar array, known as a "jump sail." The jump sail is only about a milimeter thick, but can have a diameter of several kilometers. During a jump, the sail is retracted and stored in the engineering section. The crew section usua

The jump sail is only about a milimeter thick, but can have a diameter of several kilometers. During a jump, the sail is retracted and stored in the engineering section. The crew section usually has at least one spinning centrifuge used to create artificial gravity, referred to as a "gravity deck" or "grav deck" for short. Larger jumpships also sometimes carry hydroponic gardens in domes attached to the crew section.
