Navigation

Impulse maneuvering uses the main engines to control acceleration, speed and heading. Speed The vessel’s speed is measured in fractions of the speed of light (the abbreviation for which is C). The vessel’s maximum rated speed is 0.2C (one-fifth the speed of light, or approximately 60,000 kilometres per second).

Navigation involves management of the vessel’s movement in space, including superluminal travel between stellar systems and maneuvering the vessel around other vessels and objects at subluminal speeds.
