Hyperion

Hyperion is an O-type main sequence star located at the center of the OmniVerse. As a result of its relative size and position, the energy of its stellar emissions is broad enough to support all life and functions in the OmniVerse. These emissions also played a critical role in inspiring the development and subsequent widespread use of the Topological Planar Articulation Engine, a starship component which allows starships to enter hyperspace, a separate and adjacent dimension within "normal" space that is used to navigate interplanetary, interstellar, intergalactic and interuniversal distances in an amount of time greatly reduced from the time it would take in normal space.

In more base terms, Hyperion is the source of hyperspace, while its emissions in the form of stellar wind provide the means to access it.
