As far as I understand it every system has jump points which normally require some kind of jump ability to go through. However, in the more built up areas of the galaxy there are jump gates constructed and any ship should be able to go through those. You should still be able to cruise the galaxy in a gladiator, just can't go visit the fringes without hitching a ride.


That is my understanding as well. In one of the in game fictions the main character takes a p-52 (small fighter you cant ever mount a jump drive on) through a jump game and comes out the other side alive. So they have to have some sort of jump gates for non jump equipped ships.
