HH Hyperspace is not SW HS nor ST Warp Drive.

Transitioning into hyper (while not in a gravity wave/wormhole
junction point) doesn't impart velocity, it transitions you up through
the hyperband stack. The stack can be thought of as a 4th spatial
dimension with N-Space at one end and the increasing hyperbands going
up. Each band is seperated by a high point or wall that the hyperspace
drive needs to push you over, otherwise, inside a band, transitioning
up or down the stack is relatively cheap.

Momentum does seem to be lost in the process, most likely with respect
to some as yet not entirely specified universal/special frame of
reference (otherwise a significant amount of what DW says with
relation to momentum and hyper transitions is meaningless). That
handily avoids timetravel problems with the FTL coms, hyperspace in
general and the wormholes.

But back to your original statement, it has been consistently
specified that makeing transition at '0v' entails no momentum loss nor
gain, so obviosly sitting dogo in a hyper band is possible, it's even
been established as possible (though not entirely safe) in a gravwave
by trimming the sails so as to leave them as nothing more than
shields/generators fro the ship.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
