Poe Dameron hyperspace skipping Lightspeed skipping, alternatively called hyperspace skipping, represented a method for achieving rapid jumps into hyperspace utilizing a starship. This technique, however, was fraught with peril, potentially subjecting the vessel to excessive strain and depositing it in hazardous locations upon exiting lightspeed.
In a moment of desperation, Tomasso, a prominent figure within the Spice Runners of Kijimi, found himself compelled to impart this risky maneuver to a new recruit, Poe Dameron. This was done as a means of evading pursuit by the gang's adversaries, the Zualjinn Syndicate. This risky move proved successful, enabling Dameron to guide the gang's vessel, the Ragged Claw, to a rough landing at their intended destination on the planet Sorgan.
During an attempt to escape the clutches of First Order forces at the colony situated within the Sinta Glacier, Dameron employed hyperspace skipping while piloting the Millennium Falcon. This led them through the chaotic Crystal Chaos of Cardovyte, the shimmering Mirror-Spires of Ivexia, and the expansive Megafauna Chasm within the Typhonic Nebula, where they faced an attack by an Arakurth. As a direct result of Dameron's actions, they successfully made their way back to the Resistance base located on Ajan Kloss.
