Could you just make the planet super tiny and then place it inside the space highway model thus replacing the planet with a space highway?

I still don't get what you guys mean by "space highway" (I did read the hitch hiker's guide). Could it be a pre-hyperdrive-type of portal that allows to jump back a galaxy?

If so, there could be a gateway activation fee purchasable on a high-tech nearby system, and the reason for it needing a planetless system being that the portal's use generates hypergravity/deadly radiation/subspace tears/spacequakes/singularities/Riemannian geometry breakdown/insert your technobabble here.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.
