- "The adjustment you made on the backup hyperdrive checks out 100 percent. You did a great job!"
- ―Tere Metallo to Matt Turhaya
A backup hyperdrive was a secondary hyperdrive unit found on most starships. Such drives were usually underpowered, slow, and antiquated. Backup hyperdrives had a range of only ten light-years, and after each use, the unit had to be reconditioned in a shipyard before further use. They were only intended to be used in an emergency situation.[2]
