(Question)Hyperspace

[ubiqt...@my-deja.com]

Can ships enter Hyperspace but not travel anywhere?
In the Imperial Sourcebook page 36 left column
it describes an Imperial Intelligence device called
A Hyperspace Orbital Scanner (HOS) A device that scans the
computers on a planet.
This is left in Hyperspace Orbit around a planet.
Another thing it says is that the HOS does not pick up signals
from the computer directly, they monitor the hyperspace shadows
left by streaking particles inside the computer.
Does this indicate how good the scanners in the SW universe are
if the can read the shadows of a particle.

Yes. In "Tyrant's Test", this is how the Alliance "punished" the bug enemy
from that book. Put him in a lifepod and launched him into hyperspace.
Anything that enters hyperspace STAYS in hyperspace if it doesn' have a
hyperdrive to bring it back out.

I'd say so.
