Alderson Jump Points allow instant travel between two points, but
only naturally occuring points. There is one world where the only
jump point out leads into the protosphere(?) of a red giant.

Ships can stay there for a while, due to shields, as long as you
can store the energy the shields soak up, since radiating it away
(the normal solution with that style of tech) wouldn't work.
