The Asgard core installed on the Odyssey also gives off a signal which can be tracked in hyperspace when it is active. However, most ships can detect the formation of a hyperspace exit window moments before it becomes visible to the naked eye and a ship emerges. Ships in hyperspace are undetectable to all but the most sensitive sensors, such as the long range sensors of Atlantis and Asgard sensors. Hyperspace gives off high levels of radiation, but this is only a problem for the hulls of Wraith vessels, which are organic and unshielded. In this state, they can fly from one point to another in a relatively straight line. This allows a vessel to enter subspace and achieve faster-than-light velocities relative to real space while traveling at sublight speeds within its own layer of subspace. Hyperspace (also known as subspace) is an alternate dimension used by several races for faster than light travel accessible by means of a hyperdrive.Įntry into hyperspace is achieved when a vessel opens a stable hyperspace window. Since we are never told the exact speed of ships (The Falcon can go 0.5 above lightspeed, but 0.5 of what?) nor the distances (How far is Alderaan from Tatooine?) there is absolutely no way to know hyperspace travel time." It's how most advanced races get around the galaxy when they're not using a Stargate." ― Dr. The RPG books from West End Games tried to give some indications of travel time in an Astrogation Chart, but it was woefully incoherent: in some cases, you could cut travel time by 90% by making two steps at other planets instead of taking the direct routes. Not to mention that a Star Destroyer does not travel at the same speed that an X-Wing fighter or the Millennium Falcon does. I do not recall any indication of travel time being given in the movies or in the series, and only some indication of distances in some books, but without adding how long it would take to travel said distance, rendering them meaningless. It seems that, for all intents and purposes, ships travel at the speed of plot, and arrive, or not, when the plot requires it for dramatic tension. (Given the wealth of material available, I would certainly not claim to know it all.) Note 3: This question seems tangential to mine and provides some interesting information as well. The second question really only deals with how fast a ship can go in hyperspace, which is only one aspect of answering my overall question of sourcing examples of how long specific trips actually took in-universe.The first question deals with trying to source information for the speed of traversing the entire galaxy in general, which, while helpful, is different from asking for specific examples of hyperspace trip lengths.Note 2: My question may be a duplicate of two other ones I have found on here - I have referenced both of them below and why I think my question is different - but I thought it worth asking just in-case.
Note 1: If there are any specific examples from Legends relating to this, please include them as it is useful to understand the practice of hyperspace travel in general, but the emphasis should be on Canon examples (should they exist.) The consensus that I have found here and elsewhere is that hyperspace trips usually take in the order of hours to days to complete, but are there any specific examples in Canon as to how long particular journeys actually took in-universe? My question has more to do with actual examples of travel time in the Star Wars galaxy, not how long they theoretically take. Whether you take one of the main hyperlanes, or not.The route you take and how many times you have to drop out of hyperspace, recalculate, possibly fly a bit to get to a new starting point, and then go back into hyperspace.The quality of your navicomputer and the information that it will be using to make its calculations.The origin, the destination, and the distance between them.I rarely find direct evidence to answer this, and while I understand that it may often either be irrelevant to the plot, or is kept intentionally uncertain, I was wondering if there is any evidence in current Canon to show how long a hyperspace trip actually takes in-universe.Īs far as I can tell, hyperspace travel times in the Star Wars galaxy depend on multiple factors such as: I've read about hyperspace travel over the years, sometimes to try and answer questions on here, and something I've always come up against is how long any particular hyperspace trip actually takes.
