Hyperspace, also known as Hyades-Space, H-Space, Hyper-Space or the Fifth Universe (by the Council of Frogs) (PROSE: Love & War [+]Loading...["Love & War (short story)"]), was a dimension distinct from normal space, where one could travel faster-than-light and avoid the time distortion effect stated in Einstein's theory of relativity. Many species throughout the history of N-Space made use of hyperspace as a means of faster-than-light travel. Hyperspace allowed ships to travel great distances while in another type of space which allowed for an alternative to faster than light drives. The ships would disappear from normal space, enter hyperspace and return. (TV: Nightmare of Eden)

Travel[[edit] | [edit source]]
Vessels used a form of warp drive to travel into this dimension, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Nightmare of Eden) known as a hyperdrive. (TV: The Two Doctors, The Time of Angels, Survivors of the Flux)
Both the Grold and the Semquess had ships which could travel in hyperspace. (PROSE: The Eye of the Giant)
By the 25th century, humans had the ability to travel in hyperspace and such journeys had become commonplace and commercial. (PROSE: Judgement of the Judoon)
In 2540, the Third Doctor materialised in front of Cargo ship C982, forcing it to pull out of hyperspace. (TV: Frontier in Space)
A space-faring version of the Orient Express travelled through space along hyperspace ribbons. (TV: Mummy on the Orient Express)
By 2815, a section of hyperspace was being used as a short-cut for various ships. The Cerberus ship caused a huge traffic jam when it attempted to escape the hyperspace tunnel as it was closing. The ship was eventually found by the authorities, but it was deserted, leading to it being called the "Mystery of the Cerberus".

Poseidon was tethered to a hyperspace corridor, one that both prevented it from falling into the gravity well of Hades' Helix and allowed them to beam their collected energy to Ultima Tarsus. When the station collapsed, the Tenth Doctor evacuated the crew via the hyperspace corridor. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)
During the Last Great Time War, Mo and Rondig attempted to escape the Daleks via a hyperspace jump only for the Daleks to strike their craft as their drive activated, forcing them back into realspace. (AUDIO: Saviour)
