hyperspace drives
Faster-than-light propulsion
Hyperspace drives are fictional propulsion systems in science fiction that allow spacecraft to travel faster than light by entering an alternate dimension or parallel space where normal physical laws don't apply.
The concept appears across franchises from Star Wars to countless novels and games, each with slightly different rules for how hyperspace works.
A ship equipped with a hyperspace drive can cross interstellar distances in hours or days rather than centuries.
The fleet made the jump to hyperspace and arrived at the distant star system before dawn.
