This page should be merged.

It should be relocated at Hyperspace because this strikes me as a very hazy difference of definition of a standard sci-fi terms between sources, and blanketly assuming that the equation with deep space in ONE source applies to a whole class of sources from one particular time period is tendentious, especially as later uses of "Hypespace" might very well assume the background of those 60s sources. All this information should be present at Hyperspace, with "accounts" language about the variant implication in some sources about what the name refers to

By some accounts, Hyperspace, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)"], COMIC: Genesis of Evil [+]Loading...["Genesis of Evil (comic story)"]) or Hyper-Space, (COMIC: The Batmen [+]Loading...["The Batmen (comic story)"]) was a name used for regions of deep space distant from Earth, being synonymous with the "vast silent stretches of starlit space". (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)"])

In an account of the creation of the Daleks that identified the Humanoid Daleks as the progenitors of the Daleks, the planet Skaro was located "deep in Hyperspace". (COMIC: Genesis of Evil [+]Loading...["Genesis of Evil (comic story)"])

When Steve Zodiac contacted Space City for an update on the location of the Batman-occupied space freighter which had fled from Area 4 of Sector 25 after the Batmen attacked him, Commander Zero told him the freighter had moved to the edge of Sector 25, almost in hyperspace. By the time Steve and Fireball XL5 caught up, the freighter had moved into hyperspace and landed on an asteroid. (COMIC: The Batmen [+]Loading...["The Batmen (comic story)"]) As stated on the front page of TV Century 21 on 30 January 2065, Zero told reporters in a press conference that Fireball had "landed on an unknown asteroid in hyper-space", making the discovery while in pursuit of a "mysterious" space freighter. (PROSE: Stingray Attacked! [+]Loading...["Stingray Attacked! (short story)"])

By account in which Skaro was a nomadic planet, it came to the Solar System from the "dark unexplored regions of outer space", (COMIC: Invasion of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Daleks (comic story)"]) a description which resembled hyperspace. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)"])

Not long after the Battle for the Great Power, a stranded Dalek was found in "the little-known depths of hyperspace" by a human expedition. The humans then continued their journey through space until they sighted Earth, taking the Dalek with them to Space HQ. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)"])
