==Hisec Topology== 

Topologically Hisec was a ring at the beginning of eve. You could thus travel via Hisec in a "circle": 

Caldari State - Gallente Fedearation - Minmatar Republic - Ammatar Mandate - Amarr Empire - Caldari State.

In addition from Gallente Federation there exist Hisec routes to CONCORD Assembly and the Genesis Enclave of Amarr Empire. From Amarr Empire you can reach the Khanid Kingdom.   
   
With the invasion of the Triglavian this "circle" was broken and the secure connection between Amarr Empire and Caldari Sate lost, so the circle becomes a "line":

Triglavian | Caldari State - Gallente Fedearation - Minmatar Republic - Ammatar Mandate - Amarr Empire | Triglavian

So if you want to travel via Hisec from Amarr (Amarr Space) to Jita (Caldari space) you will have to go via Amarr Mandate and Minmatar Republic. Thus especially the Route from Amarr to Jita, the main trade hubs, increased significantly (from 9-jump to 44-jump) after the invasion.
Of course there are shorter routes, but those include always at least one Lowsec system.

===Hisec Enclaves===
There are Hisec systems that have no safe route (via Hisec systems) to other Hisec systems but are surrounded by Lowsec or Nullsec systems. They are not special but you should be aware that they exist.
