Hyperdrive

A hyperdrive was a method of faster-than-light travel used by several species. Upon activation, the drive propelled the spacecraft into hyperspace.

In 2070, the human colony ship Heart left Earth with what was supposed to be a "hyperdrive" on board, something the Tenth Doctor knew had not been successfully produced by humans in this era. The "hyperdrive" of the ship was in fact a firework designed to destroy the vehicle and its inhabitants entirely, while giving the appearance of successful hyperspace travel to all onlookers on Earth. (PROSE: Total Eclipse of the Heart)

The Methuselah was a spaceship from the 22nd century with an experimental hyperdrive. (PROSE: Methuselah)

Stasis pods and hyperdrive technology were the two key discoveries that made humanity's early period of galactic expansion possible. (AUDIO: Curse of the Cyberons)

Galaxy class Starliners such as the Byzantium possessed a hyperdrive. (TV: The Time of Angels)

According to the Sixth Doctor, a Sontaran cruiser's hyperdrive would take it ten or twelve days to make it from Space Station Camera to Earth. (TV: The Two Doctors)

According to Ruslan, Syra was full of every metal required for hyperdrives and nanodrives. (AUDIO: The Sonomancer)

During the Last Great Time War, the Dalek ships that operated in real space utilised hyperdrives. One craft used its drive to jump into the Time Vortex for a moment where it fired a volley at Seratrix's TARDIS, sending it hurtling out of control. (AUDIO: The Innocent) Soon afterwards, the Daleks planned to remove the planetary cores of every planet in the Null Zone and replace them with hyperdrives so they could fire the worlds at Gallifrey, only for the War Doctor to foil their plan. (AUDIO: The Heart of the Battle)

Mechanoid Interceptors used hyperdrives. (COMIC: Eve of War)

Lupari ships had hyperdrives. Hyperjacking was the process of taking remote control of a spacecraft's hyperdrive to draw it to a particular place. (TV: Survivors of the Flux)

The Gallifreyans built their first hyperdrive in -99,997,400 TL. (PROSE: A Sourcebook for Field Agents)
