The classic W_F³ × c = v formula (where W_F³ is the warp factor cubed and c is the speed of light, or about 300,000 kilometers per second) has often been used to determine faster-than-light velocities; but is obvious that this formula is insufficent if we consider that starships have visited the galactic center, * approimately 30,000 light years distand (a trip which would take thirty years eben even at warp factor ten, using this formula).
