Would J-Space travel provide a "hyperlight cone" ?
Hear me out...

Einstein's original thought experiments that led to relativity were
imagining bouncing a ball while moving on a train that approaches
light speed. A person sitting in the train tosses the ball up, bounces
it off the ceiling, and catches it.
To him, the ball is going straight up and down.
The path the ball takes to outside observers gets weirder the more
difference between train speed and observer speed.

Einsteins theory only holds for objects in *this* universe. 

Jump is a kind of ‘wormhole’ (technically an ‘Einstein-Rosen Bridge’ ) that removes the ship from the space/time continuum where Relativity holds sway. 

The ship isn’t moving faster than light, it’s taking a shortcut that light cannot take. Any relatavistic effects of their speed of travel would need an observer in J—space.

The outside observer simply sees the ship vanish at one point in space then re-appear 168 hours later in another point in space.
