Talk:Soell system

Location from Reach
By my calculations the Soell star system is about 42 Lightyears from Reach.

Based on the days and slipspace velocity of the Pillar of Autumn

August 31 - September 19 = 20 days

SS velocity of the PoA = 2.1 ly/d

20 x 2.1 = 42 lightyears.

My own calculations have been different. Using a velocity of 2.625 l/d and a distance of 49 lightyears, get a minimum of eighteen days in slipspace. Its well within the range of possibility - there's always been that convenient ""flexibility" to temporal flow" feature of slipspace. The distance between Iota Horologii I got from Celestia, a three-dimensional star map - I don't know how accurate it is, but it's served me well so far. --  Administrator  Specops306  -   Qur'a 'Morhek   10:55, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
