 The Jump Bubble explanation is the one that comes
 closest to both making some kind of sense, and being
 canonical. It's contradicted by Darrian antimatter ships
 and the Annic Nova. But I'm happy to eject those from
 canon to make things work
 reasonably.
 I just assume that those cases use
 force fields to maintain an immaterial jump bubble (force
 fields - other than white and black globes - being beyond
 Imperial tech levels).
 In fact, I recall positing a long
 time back that the reason black globes make such inefficient
 damage shields is that they weren't intended to be those
 at all. They were only intended to function as immaterial
 jump bubbles. :) --

From what I've read, all but the lowest level 'Globes are salvaged Ancient artifacts & who can really say what their intentions were?
