I'll just begin by saying the speed of the mechadragons are not FTL. The journey from Caldina to Admina takes three hours and it is NOT ten minutes. The ten minutes statement is from when the mechadragons took off from Caldina NOT that they came back or are going to Admina. Which would mean that the Abyssal Horror, Star King Kirito and Star Queen Asuna should be around Sub-Relativistic and NOT FTL.
Link to three hour journey.
Calculations:
If we assume that the distance from Caldina and Admina are the same as Earth and Mercury. Mercury is about 156.79 million km. (The numbers vary depending on what source you use.)
Link to the distance from Earth to Mercury that I used.
If we use the speed formula:
S = D/T
S = 156.79 million km divided by three hours.
If we calculate this then the speed would be 52,263,333 km per hour or Mach 42,325.342566 which is Sub-Relativistic.
If you use the bigger number of the link of the distance from Earth to Mercury which is 158,183,852 kilometers.
If we use the speed formula:
S = 158,183,852 kilometers divided by three hours.
If we calculate this then the speed would be 52,727,950.6667 km per hour or Mach 42,701.61213694867 which is still Sub-Relativistic.
However if we assume that the distance of Caldina and Admina are the same as Earth and Mars. The minimum distance from Earth to Mars is about 33.9 million miles (54.6 million kilometers) which is shorter than the distance of Earth and Mercury. (The numbers vary depending on what source you use.)
Link to the distance from Earth to Mars that I used.
Then we use the speed formula:
S = 54.6 million kilometers divided by three hours.
If we calculate this then the speed would be 18,200,000 km per hour or Mach 14739.229025 which is still Sub-Relativistic.
If you use the bigger number in the link that I sent for Earth and Mars then the current distance would be 311.44 million km.
Then we use the speed formula:
S = 311.44 million km divided by three hours.
The speed now would be 103,813,333.333 km per hour or Mach 84072.99427681268 which is Sub-Relativistic+.

By this logic the Abyssal Horror and Star King Kirito and Star Queen Asuna should also be around Sub-Relativistic and not FTL.
If you disagree please show calculations and send links or pictures of the sources that you will use in your argument and not just disagree without any proof. If you claim that you read something in a translation or fan translation please send the links otherwise they will be invalid.

Sorry if I couldn't send any pictures for some reason it wouldn't let me so I just links to the sources that I used instead. If there are any issues with the links please let me know.
