Tie-in Material Information
edit- According to Encyclopedia Galactica (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):
- Freighters are sub-light vehicles, powered by a single solium energizer. Low thrust applied for quatrons in the vacuum of space eventually accelerate them to a cruising speed of .998 of the speed of light. As a freighter nears its destination, it must apply its thruster in reverse for several quatrons more in order to slow it down. [1]
Notes
editThis unit of time is also used in Galactica 1980 #4 for the term "month."
