Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Tachyons were particles that built up on a ship in hyperspace, and were released in a distinctive flash when it reverted to realspace.

Hypermatter was composed of tachyonic particles and when these charged particles were exposed to the constraints of the lower dimensions of realspace produced near-limitless energy.
