OK, War of 3039 has this to say about Black Boxes: "Unlike HPGs, which transmit a burst message instantaneously to a target fifty light-years away, a black box radiates a signal that propagates outward from the transmitter at a steady rate as “ripples” in the fabric of hyperspace (a phenomenon that Star League technicians believed might interfere with KF drives or HPG transmitters, which prompted the SLDF to abandon the technology) "
But StratOps says this about Hyperspace: "Jump travel does not involve wormholes, or somehow ripping holes between two points of the universe and stepping through, or travel through some alternate “dimension”—to use the science fi ction term for another plane of existence—at faster than light speeds. Jump travel entails a transformation of the ship through hyperspace, and I mean hyperspace in the classic mathematical- topographical sense."
Clearly these two paragraphs contradict each other, which is correct?
