[ALLCONTINUITY] How exactly does hyperspace work?
I've got two questions: Both are important to answer to fully understand how this in general is supposed to work, as a general rule. Understanding hyperspace correctly is key to figuring out how Galactic Republic-era politics works.
Question 1. If I'm at Coruscant and I want to travel the full length of the Corellian Run to Ryloth, how long would that take, and what would the experience of doing so be like? Answer both for an affluent government official with a Class 1 hyperdrive (the best available) and a civilian with a basic hyperdrive making the same journey, if that's even possible.
Question 2. I want to travel from one system to another, the distance of one standard grid unit (Let's say Felucia to Korriban, which is about that). However, there are no major hyperspace lanes connecting the two systems. Answer both for an affluent government official with a Class 1 hyperdrive (the best available) and a civilian with a basic hyperdrive making the same journey, if that's even possible.
The Corellian Run is longer, but one of, if not the best mapped out hyperspace lanes in the Galaxy. Meanwhile, the trip from Felucia to Korriban lacks any such route, despite being much shorter in real distance, it's unclear if I could even do it safely with how isolated from present Republic-era galactic hyperspace lanes the ancient Sith homeland of Korriban is.
