Realspace

Realspace, also called normal space, space-normal to the Chiss,Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising star-space to the Kilji species,Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil or simply space,Star Wars Rebels: The Rebellion Begins was the dimension in which all of the galaxy's residents lived. The vast majority of space was a vacuum, a depressurized area devoid of atmosphere. The vacuum of space was fatal to many living organisms without the use of some sort of EVA suit and was unable to sustain fire.Lords of the Sith Because travel using sublight engines within realspace was slow, sentients found a technological way to access the shadow dimension known as hyperspace. A starship equipped with a hyperdrive would "jump" from realspace into hyperspace, and "revert" from hyperspace to realspace.
Species that could survive in the vacuum of space include exogorths and Cylo's cyborg whale-ships.Darth Vader (2015) 5 Neebrays could survive in nebulae, such as the Kaliida Nebula. As well as being able to survive in space, the purrgil were capable of traveling through hyperspace.
Many droids were able to operate in space. Astromech droids were exposed to the vacuum of space when conducting repairs outside the hull of a starship and when inserted into the astromech socket of a starfighter. KX-series security droids could also survive in the vacuum of space.Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Battle droids, used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, occasionally sat on the outside of ships, such as pod-hunting shuttles.
