@Lord Admiral Spire Good to have you back, Sir.

[@thecolossalwang2308]

Although this is two months old, this is actually a real thing, it’s shown in the movie “Interstellar” as they travel through a black hole and experience something called time dilation. I think it has to do with moving at such a speed your cells do not work at the same rate causing them to slow down and their lifespans are increased or something like that, been a while since I read about it. Very interesting though.

[@keywellcoinsmafiametals8726]

Serfing wookiepedia some years back I came across that story. I had actually started typing out my own story with the same premise where the main character buys a vintage ship that had a hyperdrive problem and jumped into the future and was present at famous star wars battles. I haven't touched it in a few years. I'm thinking on working on it again.

[@flintube2622]

@@thecolossalwang2308 it is A: because the speed of light is a constant. Time dilation is a result of the theory of relativity. In result your time in relation to... as an example earth goes slower when you get nearer the speed of light. B: because of gravity as it is the case in Interstellar. Gravity shapes spacetime which results in a difference in time in a gravitational field.

[@ns0557212]

That's a fun premise and I too thought there was a comic book about this from star wars but maybe something completely else and to the person aboves ya time dilates its like a needle or a pinhole if you left earth at the speed of light when you come back you will 100 years or more younger than the earth when you left. That is also why time travel to the past is most likely impossible, because time can't dilate past the point of lightspeed and only get a nano second in the future is the closest we could get. We would have to rewrite the fundamental laws of physics if we could time travel backwards but forwards is very probable. Cool ideas!

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.

[@Thane36425]

In the old games, ships usually had a backup hyperdrive, albeit much slower than the standard ones. So you could still have a back up but be in a place where your supplies would run out before you could arrive at a planet. Now the Traveller series game had it worse. No back up, high fuel requirement to jump and a very limited jump range. In Star Wars a misjump might take a couple of weeks to get back from (assuming just a misjump and not total engine failure). In Traveller it could take months to get back IF the jump drive wasn't destroyed and IF you could find or harvest fuel. In a void space, time to roll up new characters.

[@phantom1100]

Thane36425 yeah the backup hyperdrive is how Han Solo got to Bespin in ESB if I remember correctly.

[@altronbee1216]

tf why is this the top comment

[@Thane36425]

@@phantom1100 Right. In game terms it would have been a low trip. The range he mentioned was fuel and other supplies. I don't recall if the game had fuel seperate or if all consumables were lumped into on stat, since each ship had such a rating in terms of days to months.

[@blackshogun272]

Thane36425 in an unpublished Legends article and novella it is explained the true depravity and horror that lurks in Otherspace AKA: Dark Illathurion. The Charon actually inhabited a single star system that was dreadfully close to a violent black hole and over decades of observation by its people and the realization that they'd never be able to escape their sector of space due to it, the race of insectoid people went mad. The dark entities (things like Vitiate/Valkorion) that lurk within Dark Illathurion wasted no time in twisting the already broken minds of the Charon until they all but physically resembled the Yuuzhan Vong and worshipped death and destruction. Planets in the same solar system with life were eventually invaded and sterilized by the insane race and firmly believed after their campaigns that they had exterminated all life in their galaxy. Proven false by a wormhole that lead back to the original galaxy, the Charon hardened their resolve to exterminate all life that existed on the other side of the portal. Had they not been blasted back into that hellish dimension by the very few sane Charon and New Republic, the eldritch horrors that lurk in Otherspace/Dark Illathurion would have eventually escaped and brought unspeakable bloodshed and chaos across the galaxy. Another cosmic war would have erupted and this time, the guidance of The Celestials and untainted Firstborn races would not be of service. The galaxy would bleed out in agony and truly die...

Smaller ships like starfighters probably don't have a backup.

[@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

If it is possible to hit a planet, we should be seeing it all the time. 2 or 3 X-wings hitting a light speed would be plenty to cripple a planet.

But, if Hyperspace is a separate dimension, then why did the Malevolence navi-computer have to go around the Kaliida Nebula to reach the Republic medical facility in the episode Shadow of Malevolence? Further, why is the Nebula in non hyperspace travel actually a faster, albeit more dangerous, route than the hyperspace alternative?

[@eldarshield4724]

Because, as we've seen before, even if you do hyperdrive through something, you still go through that thing. For instance the Malevolence jumps straight into a moon, and Holdo jumps into the big ol star destroyer. You still interact, just at super speeds. Now I can't explain fully why it would be faster to go through the Nebula for the ships though I can offer one its the same with flying, if you head straight towards a direction you'll always be faster than going sideways but, at the end of the day, this is Star Wars, not everything needs explaining. I mean, just look at Rise of Skywalker

Didn't the Malevolence had to recompute the next exact coordinates after each jump? Maybe it just took very long to calculate these coordinates.

[@DrX-dh6th]

i like to think of real- and hyper-space as being different but not separate dimensions. large enough objects are present to some degree in both - for example, at the end of TLJ when Holdo uses hyperspace ramming. yes, Snoke’s ship in real space is destroyed, but so is the Raddus - which is in hyperspace. clearly there is some interaction between the two dimensions. a nice analogy for this (i literally made this up off the top of my head haha) is imagine the two dimensions as two sheets of paper lying on top of each other. if you write on the top one but press very lightly, it won’t really affect the bottom. but if you use more force (are a larger object like a capital ship or a planet), it will leave an indent on the bottom sheet as well. idk if this is supported by actual canon/legends lore, but it works for me.

My headcanon is that hyperdrives are built to *hold* you in hyperspace, like holding down a rubber duck under water, and if the hyperdrive fails or loses power, then you get forced out of hyperspace. This type of hyperdrive could exist alongside one that fully transports you into hyperspace, and require more expensive maintenance.

@@justanuff Well the short version is that matter is made up of atoms, atoms are made of protons which have a positive charge, electrons with a negative and neutrons which you probably guessed are neutral. Antimatter protons and electrons would be reverse. When matter and anti matter come into contact, they annihilate each other and are converted into tremendous amounts of energy. My idea for the anti Force would be similar, core aspects of it would be the inverse of the force. Perhaps an anti-force Jedi would need to use their emotions to access the light side, while anti matter Sith would need a calm focus.

They would purge their society's souls several times while going on a mass exodus fromst the main galaxy.

In current physics, FTL travel is impossible. But in theory, the way the math works, if you managed to break the light barrier using an infinite amount of energy, you would continue to accelerate in the opposite direction until you reach twice the speed of light with no additional effort. Essentially, the less energy you put in to acceleration, the faster you go. You would then need the same amount of energy to in order to decelerate slower than light. If the light barrier was a form of another dimension, since it breaks the current physics of our dimension, then I think it would be more accurate to say that you could be stranded in the FTL dimension if you got ejected or had a malfunction.
