HyperSpace

HyperSpace is an alternate dimension with similar physical laws to TrueSpace. The few exceptions are related to how it works with interstellar differences, namely that it has a much higher light speed, and that massive objects experience drag force like inside an atmosphere or other fluid. This allows the inhabitants of the Milky Way to use it as a medium for both communication and travel. Its effect on light redshifts the visible spectrum into being bright red to the human eye.

Distances between stars in truespace aren't perfectly equivalent with their counterpart gravity wells in HyperSpace, many stars also remain inaccessible by hyperspace travel. The names of unrelated stars from Earth's astronomical system were used when adapting Chenjesu star charts for human use.
