Effect: This power allows a Jedi to bend space and send objects through the fold, transporting them without aid of transports. If the object being moved through the fold in space is a container or starship, any object or being within the container, vehicle or ship is also moved. The difficulty is variable based on a number of factors. First, the alter and sense difficulties are dependent on the proximity to the final destination of the object or person. Second, the size of the fold in space also may create an additional burden on the Jedi. Increase the difficulty +5 for objects weighing one to ten kilograms, +10 for objects 11 to 100 kilograms, +15 for objects 101 kilograms to one metric ton, +20 for objects 1,001 kilograms to ten metric tons, +25 for objects 10,001 kilograms to 100 metric tons. If the Jedi fails the roll by 15 or more, then the object is lost in the fold in space and may be anywhere in the galaxy, or may vanish entirely.
Background: Fold space was a Force power that allowed a Force-user to bend space to instantly transport an object between places. This form of teleportation was used by the Aing-Tii, a mysterious species living on a planet in the Kathol Rift. This technique allowed the wielder to use the Force to teleport any object or possibly one self from one place to another.
In 43.5 ABY, when Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son, Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, visited the Aing-Tii homeworld, Luke was taught the technique by Tadar’Ro. Abeloth utilized this ability while battling an allied force of Sith and Jedi in 44 ABY.
Fold space was also used in a way known as “Aura of Freedom”, which allowed the user and nearby allies to resist being moved with the Force.
