Ultra-hyperroutes functioned as the main hyperspace routes within the galaxy. These routes, which spanned a large portion of the galaxy, included the Corellian Run, the Corellian Trade Spine, the Hydian Way, the Perlemian Trade Route, and the Rimma Trade Route.
The initial reference to ultra-hyperroutes in the new Star Wars canon appeared in the twenty-ninth edition of the Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon publication. In Star Wars Legends, ultra-hyperroutes were initially referenced within The Essential Atlas, a reference work from 2009 penned by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace.
