Parsec: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:21, 5 September 2024

In Galactic Empire, a parsec is the smallest unit of distance. Each sector is 10000x10000 parsecs.

A ship at warp 1 (light speed) travels 153.846153 parsecs per centock. See: Movement.

In real life, a parsec is about 3.26156 light years, meaning that a real life parsec is about 3.167 million Galactic Empire parsecs^[1].

↑ There are 6,311,520 centocks per year, meaning at warp 1 you would travel 971,003,071 parsecs a year. In real life, light travels 0.306601 parsecs per year. 9710003071 divided by 0.306601 is 3,166,992,511.
