Of course you know the planet is then unavabile yes?
Is that when the planet is isolated from Slipstream? Problem solved, the Systems commonwealth has Hyperspace now, remember?

It's isolated from everything AFAIK

Slipstream is the only form of FTL in Andromeda, so being isolated from it would make the planet unreachable through Andromeda standards. But with Hyperspace, that is no longer a problem.

Ahem, I do mean everything, it's not reachable through normal space either, it's in another dimension, it's like another strange kinda phase-cloak almost.

Proof? We know that they have no other FTL besides slip stream, so it would take years or decades just trying in real space.

Proof? It's in the show what tesseracts do, they make things like moving through stuff possible, and a tesseract is something extra-dimensional.

I dunno how I can prove that, you'll just have to watch the show.

No you just have to tesseract in and out of it. Admiral Uxulta had to of left Tarn Vedra somehow prior to "The Fair Unknown". She also said the Vedrans had been observing all that was going on in the universe. So they can leave the system you just have to tesseract your ship or person out of it. Or you could I suppose tesseract back in the system for a little while.

Tesseracting just works by moving objects or parts of them into shadow or higher dimensions. In the case of the Vedrans they just moved their entire solar system into a shadow dimension. The only way to reach it would be to tesseract in or out of it. Watch "The Fair Unknown" and "Into the Labyrinth" you'll get some of the basics of tesseracting.

As a side note different people spent three hundred years trying to reach Tarn Vedra and could find no signs of it. With the technology they have in the Andromedaverse we have to assume someone thought to send an AI robotic ship out at sublight from a nearby system. Sure it might take it 200 years but who cares when it is just a AI.

Question. Just how small are the craft that can carry these hyperdrives? Small enough that you could fit one to a Shrike fighter?

The High Guard fitted every fighter and strike craft with Hyperdrive.

The Goa'uld don't make hyperspace capable fighter craft, but it is possible. I say it again, i give this one to the SC. If all else fails tha Asgard are able to intervene on their behalf.

They don't make Hyperdrive capable fighters because they can't get enough power on such a small craft. I am saying that Andromeda can. Besides, Naquadria can power Hyperdrive capable fighters (once the unpredictabilty issue is dealt with) and the SC has Naquadria as of this debate.

You belive sam carter? She who knows squat about what the Goa'uld actually can or cannot do? And whose comment in Redemption is completely unjustified, please remeber that the technical term for what she was doing there is "Talking-out-of-her-ass-we're-great-and-better-than-the-Goa'uld" She proved this in no way, shape or form.
