Well, this has been discussed a buncha times already; did you miss the
posts? I don't know how up-to-date Jerry Han's archiving of the FT posts
are, but you might check there for details.

Basically Jon T came out and said they tried to design as they saw and
interpreted the show, AOG did the same. Both system/game/ship designs
were submitted to WB for canonical approval, and both were accepted.
So, you take it for what it's worth. My, personally I think the
Hyperions
have jumpdrives. Just because we haven't seen them use them doesn't mean
they don't.  *shrug*

As for fighter squadrons, well...I think they carry one, but what do I
know?
