Conclave Aerospace Fleet Forces Starship Speeds

In YE 43, with the introduction of the YE 43 Fleet Expansion Program, the New Dusk Conclave's fleet admirality decided that to simplify future strategic and tactical considerations, it would implement a standardization of military starship speeds. Drawing heavily from the Yamataian and Nepleslian roots of some of its commanders, it adopted a similar system to both nations.

Speeds

Interstellar vehicles are divided into eight categories:

Cat Starship Type Example Classes Sublight Engines Wormhole Hyperspace Drive
1 Capital Ships Albion-class Battle Carrier .340c 0.2ly/m
2 Star Fortresses and Installations Island Class Mobile Colony .005-.1c 0.2ly/m
3 Scouts and Escorts NDC-SS1, Erebus Class Missile Frigate .370c 0.2ly/m
4 Cruisers Spectre-class Stealth Cruiser, BW-SS2 Scythe Cruiser .360c 0.2ly/m
5 Cargo and Service Ships
6 Shuttles and Dropships BW-RTTS "Bolt", BW-TC-1A Hellcat-class Tactical Dropship .330c
7 Frames and Strike Craft VF-41 Sparrowhawk, Banshee-class Strike Frame .375c N/A N/A
8 Power Armor Revenant Power Armor R1-SPA, Revenant Power Armor Mk II N/A or .075c N/A N/A
  • ly/d = Light years traveled in one day
  • ly/h = Light years traveled in one hour
  • ly/m = Light years traveled in one minute
  • c = The speed of light in a vacuum
  • au/h = Astronomical units per hour

OOC Notes

This article does not take into effect the speed increases caused by armor under Damage Rating (Version 3).
