Hyperspace is an alternate plane of space through which a ship must travel to reach faster-than-light speeds. To do so requires a hyperdrive and all the associated parts, such as a hyperspace core.
Hyperspace does not act independently from normal space. Gravitational fields for example exert a powerful influence on ships traveling through hyperspace and can pull them from hyperspace, bringing them back into normal space. This can be potentially fatal for the ship and its crew, especially if the gravitational field in question is that of a large star or black hole.
There is also evidence that some lifeforms exist within hyperspace without any kind of life support. The Beast for instance was believed to have attached itself to the Naggarok while it was traveling through hyperspace. This suggests that the Beast may be native to hyperspace and if that is true, it is possible that other lifeforms are as well.
