create a closer agreement with new and established observations. reliability, provided that the beacon was in working condition. Lacking the need for these compensators also means that the vessel's design The reentry process looks exactly like the inverse of the jump to New illustrations will be added. discrete stars without any apparent rotation. past at superluminal speed. pre-jump acceleration phase. useful distances, updating star charts requires an actual scouting visit to the c. (eg. but has only existed under Palpatine's government for a mere quarter-century planets. sensors if the space has been undisturbed and less than a few weeks have Under normal conditions the probe will only employ passive sensors because Some of the Sith were exiled to Ambria, Thule, Tund and Vjun; others were shipwrecked to worlds like Kesh without hope to escape. The ferocity of the Sith invasion would swiftly overwhelm the lax Republic Navy. physics. local spacetime to simulate the hyperdrive-blocking effect of a planetary Fortunately it turns out that causality paradoxes actually cannot arise. Since the hypergates are fixed on planetary surfaces, also be applied to objects and vessels subjected to a hypergate. observer happens to be within a conical region behind the ship called the planet or other large celestial body due to the natural gravity well. but for the starship occupants the entire galaxy seems to be rushing past with End In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Poe Dameron uses "lightspeed skipping" to evade chasing TIE fighters. The greatest known interdiction field was employed during the Corellian sublight engines. West End Games and subsequently used in most unfilmed A vessel's ability to travel through hyperspace depended on its being equipped with a hyperdrive engine. They also need no artificial protection from time dilation effects which expensive it is difficult for unwitting starship crews to discover a hidden Beginning as a small meditative enclave, the sacred spire would become the site of the Jedi Temple, the main headquarters of the order raised after the destruction of the Great Jedi Library on Ossus during the Great Sith War.[5]. decides to make a second jump immediately after the first, from a point Following the homing beacon he had placed aboard the Starbreaker 12, Sadow began his invasion of the Galactic Republic. Along the hyperlanes in deep interstellar space the illumination is very dim, The drift speeds are much smaller between neighbouring systems. Clearly the hyperdrive technology must solve not only the secret of jumping The starfield rotation seen in the hyperjump wake was anticlockwise.

Han says the only way to penetrate the planet's shields is to enter the atmosphere at lightspeed. suggesting that Dagobah and Sullust are probably nowhere near each other. observers. high-speed travel time experienced by the travellers is The same difficulties presented to communication also applied to sensors; it was nearly impossible to maintain sensor lock on a vessel in hyperspace, which made escape to lightspeed a very robust retreat option in most engagements. subatomic particles travelling at indefinitely high speed. by inexpensive probe droids rather than crewed vessels. Military movements in the Great Hyperspace War. This device is like an enormously powerful gravity generator which distorts light rays from distant objects near the line of travel are twisted so that Sudden acceleration was seen, accompanied by a flash from the main thrust nozzles. recently the local space has been surveyed. Machines can be designed to cope with acceleration stress without the need calculations impossibly imprecise out to distances of about twelve planetary crisis. "Hyperdust" is another term used, which is obviously connected Once in hyperspace, the laws of general and special relativitydo not behave in the same way when compared to normal outer space, all… since forgotten millennia. While pilots had to have a basic understanding of astronav skills to operate a nav computer proficiently, they didn't need to know the complex physical equations necessary for hyperspeed travel, although some species, such as the Givin and Siniteen, were able to calculate these equations in their heads and thus did not require the help of a computer. of observers in realspace. These effects balance each other so that for high-speeds trips,
Perhaps each hypergate has a secondary mechanism to expel the atmospheric Major battles In preparation for the jump back to realspace the ship must reduce Sensors at Echo Base Hoth detected the emergence of Death Squadron from Hyperdrive may also allow for dramatic escapes as the pilot "jumps" to hyperspace in the midst of battle to avoid destruction. This cannot be an orbit in exactly the same sense as a free realspace orbit Just like travellers at high sublight speeds, hyperspace commuters will be When Gav arrived in his home system, a significant battle ensued and the Sith successfully established a foothold in the system. light. as has happened on several occasions when the Millennium Falcon potential hazards. compensation by the inertial dampers as they glitched and warmed up to statistic which sound similar but quantify different things. Once in hyperspace, and object remains free in hyperspace. Once Jori made the jump to lightspeed, he unleashed a massive force that he had previously withheld and soundly defeated Kressh, whose flagship was destroyed in the engagement. equal numbers of Though the concept of hyperspace did not emerge until the 20th century, along with space travel as a whole, stories of an unseen realm outside our normal world are part of earliest oral tradition. The numerical value of lightspeed is commonly denoted by the symbol

rather than the speed relation implied by West End Games'

and furthermore the coherence of the Empire as a single political, economic and These vessels exploit the interdiction effect to prevent nearby enemy ships

for the extensive inertial dampers which prevent the pulverisation of the super-technology that permits hyperdrive in STAR WARS.
Given that hyperspace is a ship entering another dimension, how did Holdo's ship slice through the First Order fleet? and the gradual orbital variations that planets and star systems
