The kilometer per hour,[1] often abbreviated as kph,[2] KMH,[3] km/h,[4] or km/hr,[5] was a physical unit of speed or velocity, expressing the number of kilometers traveled in one hour.[6]
Kilometers per hour were often used to express the speed of vehicles, such as podracers, swoop bikes, speeder bikes, landspeeders, and even starfighters. Fast ground-based vehicles such as the 74-Z speeder bike used by Scout troopers had a maximum speed of 500 km/h.[7] Podracers, which were designed for high-speed races, had higher maximum speeds. Young Anakin Skywalker's podracer had a maximum speed of 947 km/h.[8]
