A Wraith in the midst of a Fast Jump.
The Wraith Fast Jump is an ability used by the Wraith to enable themselves to enter hyperspace faster. Living totally in the cold void of deep space has led to some amazing adaptations for the Wraith. The same evolutionary forces that led to opposable thumbs for humans has also led to unbelievable advantages for the Wratih in their natural environment. While a human can run, jump, and chew gum at the same time, a Wraith may choose to jump at any time without slowing down to stop. In the Polaris mission string, the Polaris study this strange phenomenon and develop their own version: the Tunneling Organ.
