'''Jump Clones''' are a technology used by capsuleers (i.e. players in EVE) which allow them to transfer their consciousness between different bodies. Your [[clone|medical clone]] is different than your jump clones so don't think of them as the same thing. Medical clones are essentially your new body that you wake up in with the location determined by what you have set as your current Home Station, should your capsule get destroyed (normally only by other players in PvP, or some very rare NPCs in very dangerous PvE situations).

Jump clones require specific skills and cost ISK to set up, but can be used at will (with a cooldown period between uses).

Jump clones require specific skills and can cost ISK to set up, but can be used at will (with a cooldown period between uses, unless via Citadels).

A good way to think about jump clones is to imagine that you have a number of bodies available to you (which may be in widely scattered corners of the galaxy), but only one of these bodies currently holds your consciousness; the other bodies, without a consciousness, are inert. You can transfer your consciousness from your current body to another body, thereby taking control of your new body and rendering your old one inert. You will still have your experience intact, but any physical possessions won't travel with you (they stay with your old body).
