Hyperdrive

Profile
The Hyperdrive is the cornerstone of Star Wars technology — without it, no galaxy-spanning story.
How it works
A ship jumps from realspace into hyperspace, an alternate dimension where distances behave differently. Jumps require navigation data — without it, the ship slams into stars or planets.
Classes
- Class 1.0 = standard (military)
- Class 0.5 = very fast (Falcon, A-Wing)
- Class 5.0 = slow (freighter)
Why it matters
The hyperdrive is what makes Star Wars a “saga in a galaxy far, far away”. No drive, no smuggler trade, no Rebel hit-and-run, no galactic politics.
