Shields also protected the ship from fatal collisions with interstellar gas and dark particles. Once in hyperspace, null quantum field generator helped stabilize the vessel and keep it from prematurely emerging from the alternate dimension.

Inertial dampers were used to protect the ship, crew and cargo from being crushed by the tremendous acceleration of the jump.

To enter hyperspace, the hyperdrive's horizontal boosters would provide energy to the ionization chamber to begin ignition that would release the radiation, causing ripples in the time-space matrix and allowing the ship to propel off the ripples into hyperspace. A motivator would build up and modify the energy in a fusion generator through several kilometers of looped superconducting wire. After receiving commands from a ship's pilot via paralight system, the process of a hyperspace jump began with the collection of gamma radiation by the field guide.
