I think that works. GJ 1004 may be have the "closest" links, but  
they're still over 10 parsecs each - a rather long jump , which means  
that the SK meddling with NI and vice versa is not quite that easy.  
It also means that New Jordan was part of the SK, rather than the IF.  
Probably NJ represents the secular end (or at least the less rabid  
religious end) of the _SK_ spectrum, and when it cut out of the SK,  
it got consequently more insular and tightened. I'm beginning to see  
an Islamic version of the Honorverse's Masada in the SK.

I think SK Navy elements would be Mainly IF in build, but more aged.  
"New" SK ships (after IF/SK split) would probably use IF plan forms  
but have slightly divergent designs - more "low tech"?


What are the canon sources on how far/fast can ships jump? Is Jumping  
instantaneous or does it take finite time? Is there a hyperspace  
speed or distance-per-jump limit? Are there different lanes or  
"bands"? I know there are no canon restrictions about hyperlimits and  
such - though they are often used in house systems.
