Possible Star Wars Canon Speed (Massive Upgrade)

[Naeem0304]

“Motivator finally gave out,” the ship’s pilot reported. The instrument panel before him and his copilot was ablaze with blinking warning lights. “We’re at sublight for the rest of the way.”

“Where are we?”

The copilot worked the nav console, punched up a local sensor image. “We’re close, about a quarter parsec out.”

Raymus stepped forward, directly behind the two helmsmates so that he might see better through the cockpit viewport. And there it was. Barely discernible to an untrained eye, but Raymus knew what he was looking for. From this far out, Tatooine was little more than a speck, just a tiny, pale-orange dot adjacent to two far larger, brilliant lights, the planet’s binary suns.

“How long at best speed?” They were so close, yet still so far. If the hyperdrive had held out for just a few moments longer, they would already be in the planet’s orbit. But now, forced to hobble the rest of the way at sublight…

“Eight minutes,” the pilot responded.

Source: Raymus: From a Certain Point of View

A parsec was a unit of distance equal to 3.258 light-years.

25% of 3.258 = 0.8 Lightyears.

0.8 Light Years = 26,824,000 Light Seconds or 4.99683902e+12 miles:
4.99683902e+12 / 480 seconds = 10,410,081,291.7 miles per second or 55,883.33x FTL.
A single MGTL would be 689c.

"Raymus" is a short story included in "From a Certain Point of View", and refers to Captain Raymus Antilles, who was commandeering the ship.

Pretty sure there might be more support for MFTL SW Canon

 

[TegamiBachi25]

this is for ships, yes? What about Canon Jedi and Sith Force Enhancement speed?

This can act as a baseline. Any feat of a Jedi/Sith reacting to even a 1 MGLT starfighter (which is 689c) would be good.

I ran the numbers through. And...
(30856775814913673*0.25)/480=1.60712374*10^13 m/s
1.60712374*10^13/299792458=53607.87763c

I have no idea how you got the 689c rating for a single MGTL as the source doesn't even point out any way to calculate that.

I should mention that the ship is forced to travel at sublight speed, meaning slower than light speed. I highly doubt anyone's scaling to hyperdrive because of that fact alone.

I think it's hilarious that sub-lightspeed is 689x, scratch that, 55,883 times faster than light.

I do have to ask, why did you convert from lightseconds into miles per second before dividing by time in seconds? Don't get me wrong, the answer is the same, but it's a lot simpler to just convert to lightseconds and then divide by your time in seconds.
