A standard HyperSpace distance unit is the unit of distance in HyperSpace. The only canonical reference to this unit of measurement comes from the Syreen Starbase Commander Talana when describing the fate of the Space Patrol Penetrator fleet. She tells The Captain that, based on trip-time calculations, the location where the Kzer-Za led and cached the fleet is within 200 standard HyperSpace distance units of Betelgeuse. Epsilon Camelopardalis, the star system where the Syreen Ship Vault is located, is about 182 HyperSpace distance units from Betelgeuse. In terms of HyperSpace travel, The Flagship consumes 0.1 units of fuel per HyperSpace distance unit. The starmap, which represents the extent of in-game explorable HyperSpace, is a square with a side length of 1000 distance units.
