Hyperspace

Hyperspace was a dimension distinct from normal space, where one could travel faster than 180,000 miles per second and avoid the time distortion effect stated in Einstein's Theory of relativity. According to the Fourth Doctor, it was an absurdity — it was only supposed to be a theory. Romana I agreed with this. On Gallifrey, hyperspace was barely touched upon.

Hyperspace allowed ships to travel great distances while in another type of space which allowed for an alternative to faster than light drives. The ships would disappear from normal space, enter hyperspace and return. (TV: Nightmare of Eden) Icarons could be used to allow a ship make the transition between normal space and hyperspace. (PROSE: Original Sin)

Hyperspace permitted communication over great distances.

The ship was eventually found by the authorities later but it was found deserted, leading to it being called the "Mystery of the Cerberus". By 3012, it, along with the prison ship the Montressor which had crashed into it, became a space station called the G-Lock, where the Festival of Death took place. (PROSE: Festival of Death)
