Hyperspace falcon

The Millennium Falcon entering hyperspace.

"Now hang onto your fur… we're going to pop into light speed."
―Han Solo[src]

Lightspeed was a slang term referring to the speed at which a starship traveled through hyperspace. In reality though, lightspeed, or traveling through hyperspace with a class 1.0 hyperdrive motivator was actually over one hundred thousand times faster than the speed of light, allowing a ship to cross the galaxy in a matter of days. Light speed could be dangerous without the right coordinates.

Behind the scenes

A good rough description of the math can be found here [1].
