The term 'Fulcrum' refers to a pivot point of a lever. This central location of contact reflects the principle behind the jump drive technology found in Evochron. A Fulcrum Jump Drive operates by creating a pivot point in space between two locations. One of the locations is the ship's current position while the other is a destination the pilot selects and enters into the navigation computer to tell the jump drive where to go. When activated, the jump drive concentrates a massive amount of energy to form an artificial event horizon (fulcrum point) in front of the ship. As power to the event horizon increases, the gravity it generates also increases and forces the ship to be drawn closer to the fulcrum point. The gravity field is extremely precise, focused directly back toward the ship it is attracting. The jump drive maintains the event horizon at a set disance ahead of the ship, so as the ship continues to move forward at an increasing velocity, the fulcrum point also moves at the same increasing rate, staying ahead of the ship at a consistent distance.
Eventually, the increasing force of the event horizon and its gravity brings the ship to an extremely high velocity, fast enough for the ship to safely pass through the fulcrum point. When the ship reaches the event horizon at the required speed, it triggers the folding of space between the two points, the ship passes through the event horizon and arrives at the destination location. The scope of the event is so precise and narrow, that only the ship itself is able to pass through. However, even to create an event horizon this small requires an extremely high amount of energy to generate. Ships are generally left drained of their power reserves and the release of energy creates a bright flash of light visible to any nearby viewers.

Yup. Figured it worked that way.
