'''Light Speed''' is the constant rate at which light travels in a vacuum, approximately 3.00x10^8 m/s. Many races have attempted to create starships that can attain this speed but none have succeeded. The energy costs necessary to sheild a ship moving at any significant fraction of this speed are beyond the scope of even the most technologically advanced races, and the cost increases geometrically as the speed of light is approached. Instead, most races opt to use [[Skip Drive|skip drives]] which utilize [[Wormhole|wormholes]] to quickly cover vast distances across time-space in a non-linear fashion.
