Hyperspace transport ring

The hyperspace transport ring, also known as a hyperdrive ring, was a device that provided hyperspace travel capabilities to starfighters with no on-board hyperdrive, such as the Delta-7 and 7B Aethersprite-class light interceptors, and the V-19 Torrent starfighter. The Syliure-31 hyperspace docking ring was one such transport ring. The hyperframe was a similar technology used during the High Republic Era.

Darth Vader's personal V-wing squadron used hyperspace rings during a pursuit of weapon hijackers from Cham Syndulla's Free Ryloth Movement.

During the New Republic Era, Morgan Elsbeth's forces constructed the Eye of Sion, a prototype hyperdrive ring hundreds of times larger than a typical one and, according to architect droid Huyang, powerful enough to complete extragalactic journeys, in order to retrieve Grand Admiral Thrawn from his exile.
