Hyperdrive is the method of faster-than-light travel used in Star Wars. It allows ships, from massive ISDs to small fighters such as the X-wing, to be able to travel the galaxy in a few hours or days at most.

Hyperspace

Hyperdrive allows for faster-than-light travel by pushing ships into Hyperspace. The exact nature of Hyperspace is largely unknown, but there are various ideas as to what it is, such as:

  • Hyperspace being another dimension of space, one where the lightspeed barrier is non-existent.
  • A parallel universe.
  • Simply the way the universe is viewed when traveling faster than light.

Hyperdrive Speeds

Hyperdrive allows ships to travel the galaxy in a matter of hours or days.
