Would planetary masking be an issue for a starship jumping in from either JumpSpace or Hyperspace??

Also what are the likely travel times between the 3 planets??

In Traveller you have two choices. Normal ballistic travel between planets and FTL. If ships can continuously do 1 gee out turn over and 1 gee decelerate it'll vary depending on current planetary distances, but in general: Not take very long.

If you're using a more orbital mechanical travel, the general answer is 'longer than that'.

If you're using Traveller's jump drive to cross a system the answer is 1 week plus time spent getting through planet diameter distance etc.
