Hyperspace is like the nether in Minecraft, you can travel vast distances in short amounts of time, and if you get stuck that's bad news

[Linkman]

I remember a Holonet news story on the old star wars website that talked about someone's temporal regulator (or something like that) that malfunctioned and this guy showed up hundreds years after he left but for him it was only as long as a typical flight.

[Unknown-hbid]

I'm sure it's fine. I just recently saw this one guy who hyperspaced like 5 times in a row just to get a few fighters off him, and he conveniently found 5 planets in a row without smashing into anything.

Just to point out, today is the one year anniversary of “Battle of the Dreadnoughts.”

Alright, preparing for ju- why are we heading to a black hole??

But my god imagine being stuck in the middle of deep space

Star Wars: Lets talk about the horrors of disastrous hyperspace jumps.
Warhammer 40k *Laughs in Daemonic Warp*

This is the kinda Star Wars lore I love. Something about the possibilities of other dimensions and deep space horrors is fun to contemplate.

"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see."
"I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her. Isn't she beautiful?" - Dr. Weir (Sam Neill)

I think that was the first time I've heard someone use "Warhammer Forty-thousand" instead of "Warhammer 40k""

Most hyperdrive ships had a backup hyperdrive for malfunctions, the millennium Falcon had a backup 10 hyperdrive. Not as fast as it's .5 hyperdrive, but fast enough to get to the next planet that will sort out your ship. Sort of like a spare tire.

"Turn it off!" "Make us whole!" These are its cries for help - its call to action...and we are the fools who listened.

[ThreeProphets]

Hyperdrive failures or improper calculations can result in collisions with hyperspace shadows, a sort of reelection of mass from an object in realspace. This is why you have to follow lanes, even when there appears to be a straight shot from one system to another. This is also how interdictors work, by generating so much mass that they create hyperspace shadows inside a lane. One of Naga Sadow's ships made an emergency jump to avoid a collision without first plotting a course and collided instead with a hyperspace shadow, forcing her back into realspace. She shook up an engine and crash-landed on a tribal moon in the middle of nowhere, to be stranded for all eternity

[williamha]

I wonder if someone traveled somewhere and could find all the ships that where lost to hyperspace failure and see endless ghost ships

[KombatantChampion]

I was today years old when I found out that Star Wars’ hyperspace is another dimension, like in Warhammer. I always thought it was just traveling at light speed.

[obi-wankenobi]

Or... you have the luck of my character and make a blind jump trying to escape the faction you were just aggressively removed from, and get launched 5 months into the future, just shortly after their collapse, then you were just stuck dealing with everything

[Thane]

I played that West End "Otherspace" module back in the day. Basically your hyperdrive failed and you were in otherspace and quite near a Charon base. It was surrounded by many other ships that had had hyperdrive failures, too. You had to go around looking for parts to fix your ship and naturally that meant going into the base. It was tough but we had good shooters, blasters, and armor (a team of bounty hunters/merchants/rebel spies). We got the parts, managed not to lose anyone and escaped.

Hyperspace: I fear no one

But that

*Holdo*

It scares me.








Also thank god HorusVirus music backed away, now I hope they don't drown in the Lego river, I hope they get rescued.

[thomasabando]

So hyperspace is travelling into and out of a dimension, I always thought it was just travelling really really fast in space. Makes sense now cuz there would be a 9/10 chance you would hit a space rock or something.

I remeber when I was eleven, and my school had these collection books of star wars comics. One of them I read talks about a young spacer, most likely in his twenties whos hyperdrive fails. He then spends 60 YEARS traveling at sublight to the nearest planet.
