Don't cheat and read if you are playing an Astromundi game

While this is an interesting logical extension, it's just not  
supported by core canon. The Astromundi Cluster product makes it  
clear that the key to moving through Clusterspace's crystal sphere is  
using a living ship, such as an Elven vessel, but the writings on the  
Pirates of Gith make it explicitly clear that their ability to shift  
a vessel into the Astral requires a ship of Elven make. I'm not so  
terribly inclined to expand the power of the Gith to make  
Smalljammers or leeched Kindori fall under the umbrella-coverage of  
this power.

However, if you do read the Astromundi product closely, in particular  
the passages dealing with Clusterspace's relationship to the other  
Planes of existence, you will note that it is possible in any vessel  
(if the Helmsman is aware of the secret, which per the text is  
guarded by Elves) to travel from the phlogiston immediately outside  
Clusterspace into the Ethereal plane.
