For anyone interested, Starfire uses a scale of 93,000 miles (about 150,000KM)
per tactical hex, and a turn length of 30 seconds. This makes a speed 1 ship
travel at about 1.7% the speed of light. The Starfire tactical hex is about
half a light second across.

In the example above, light would cover 378,000 inches in one 21 minute turn.
That makes a speed 1 ship travel at about 0.00026% the speed of light.
