The hyperdrive allows travel at faster-than-light speeds
FTL (1C)
Allows traveling 101 light-years in minutes (because it takes just minutes in the hyperdrive "loading screen")
MFTL+ (equivalent to traveling at 10,000,000C) because:
1 light-year = 9.46 trillion km
101 light-years = 101 × 9.46 trillion km = 956.46 trillion km
If you travel 956.46 trillion km in 5 minutes (300 seconds), the speed is:
956.46 trillion km ÷ 300 s = 3.19 trillion km/s
The speed of light (1C) is 300,000 km/s
So, speed = 3.19 trillion km/s ÷ 300,000 km/s = about 10,000,000 times the speed of light
