In-game description:
"Superior propulsion technology for the largest space ships.
This propulsion system is based on the science of using multiple dimensions to bend space and travel vast distances very quickly. This is highly advanced technology and requires much research to achieve but it is the only viable means of propulsion for the largest spacecrafts.
Additional levels of research provide a 30% speed increase per level.
Ships which require and use the Hyperspace Drive include: Battleships, Dreadnoughts, Destroyers and the Death Star."
Also affected by Hyperspace Drive is Missile Chaser.
