S-thread booster

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

The S-thread booster was technology that could be used to create new hyperspace routes and also keep such routes open. It was extremely expensive to use and could be deployed either in realspace or in hyperspace, with the latter type of the device being known as the non-mass S-thread booster. S-thread boosters were utilized to maintain the Koros Trunk Line route linking the Empress Teta system and the planet Coruscant as well as the Gandeal-Fondor Hyperlane between the worlds Gandeal and Fondor. The Galactic Empire also used non-mass S-thread boosters in the creation and maintenance of the Sanctuary Pipeline and Byss Run hyperlanes.
