Narf: Read the rest of the thread. Even in ST and SW, and even HHGTTG (oh I forgot you haven't read those. SACRILEGE!!!!!) travel between systems takes absurdly long. In HHGTTG, the fastest hitchhike from the one side of the galaxy to the other took five years - and that was as fast as possible. In SW, I don't know exactly, but it also takes quite some time. In ST, even travel between some systems placed far between can take two months. I believe that you would need several months of continuous Warp 9 travel to get from one side of the Federation to the other, and remember Voyager? 70000 lightyears... I believe it was 60 or 70 years (could also be 35). And since this galaxy is 100000 lightyears in diaeter, well...

I did in fact read the rest of the thread. I am well aware of general sci-fi starship travel times. I simply thought it would be fun to have the ships move fast.
