Oh, ok, so like a city ship of some sort.  Essentially a space city that has
the capability to move anywhere it wants within the vicinity of a star, but
cannot produce the energy necessary to make a hyperjump or something like
that.

Not quite.  A giant space ship that only orbits stars and not planets to avoid
gravitaional conflicts.  The ship itself is designed to hyperspace between
galaxies, so hyperjumping to another star in the same galaxy is a peice of
cake.
