With the huge distances involved in space travel, scientists have been researching ways to create a stable wormhole technology that would allow travel between two star systems almost instantaneous. In 2743 Eric Von Loufthouvon III Esquire Grand Duke of Tau Ceti stumbled upon a way of creating a stable wormhole. Using a inverted warp field Von Loufthouvon was able to create a stable and safe way of travelling from one system to another via manmade wormhole. The technology is very fragile and as such Jump Gates are not very well armoured.
