Which is a return to CT LBB 5 HG that the ship's power plant provides energy to the jump drive.
Since I don't have T4 FF&S: is there anything in the rest of that
section that requires anything but energy? If not, would that not allow
starships with no fuel tankage of their own to jump after being fed the
required power by a tender?
