 A //Jump Mask// is the region around an astronomical body that prevents FTL jumps due to the gravitational field. In classic //Traveller//, a jump mask is 100 diameters of the object. However, this breaks for highly massive objects such as white dwarfs or neutron stars, since they will have very small diameters, but a gravitational field equivalent to a main sequence star.

 ===== Jump Shadows =====

+{{ :worldgen:jump_shadow.png?direct&300|Shows jump shadow from the perspective of a system at X+1}}
 The //jump shadow// includes regions of the system obscured by the presence of a jump mask. It isn't possible to jump directly across a jump mask, so even a mask extends 1 AU around a star, even if you are 2 AU from the star you can't jump to a point 2 AU on the direct opposite of the star since it will be in shadow.

 **WorldGen** can work out such shadows from the point of view of neighbouring systems, and show which parts of a system can be jumped to directly, and which can't.

+===== Asteroid Belts =====
+It is currently assumed that asteroid belts have no effect on jump masking. This may change at a later point.
