Hyperspace is | Hyperspace is a higher-dimensional region in which travel between star systems is possible at superluminal speeds. Only ships fitted with a hyperspace jump-capable [[Frame Shift Drive|frame shift drive]] are able to initiate a hyperspace jump on their own. | ||
Hyperspace jumps rely on the properties of quantum mechanics. Before a jump can be made, the destination must be known, and a discrete amount of energy must be input. The amount of energy needed is dependent on the mass of the jumping ship, the distance to the destination, and the specifications of the ship's frame shift drive. | |||
