In Galactic Empire, ships can travel at impulse and warp. Warp 1 is the speed of light, which is 153.846153 (10000÷65) parsecs per centock.[1] Impulse 1 is 1% of this speed, or 1.538461 parsecs per centock. Since a parsec is the smallest unit of distance in the game, and 100÷65 is a repeating decimal,
Impulse
Main article: impulse
At impulse speed, ships are able to raise shields, deploy decoys, use standard phasers, and fire (and by hit by) torpedoes.
imp 1 = 1-2 parsecs / centock
imp 15 = 23-24 parsecs / centock
imp 50 = 76-77 parsecs / centock
imp 99 = 152-153 parsecs / centock
warp 1 = 153-154 parsecs / centock
warp 3 = 461-462 parsecs / centock
warp 5 = 769-770 parsecs / centock
warp 8 = 1230-1231 parsecs / centock
warp 10 = 1538-1539 parsecs / centock
warp 20 = 3076-3077 parsecs / centock
warp 50 = 7692-7693 parsecs / centock
warp 70 (warp 4.464) = 10769-10770 parsecs / centock
warp 75 (warp 9.464) = 11538-11539 parsecs / centock
