Some fans, like Curtis Saxton and his Star Wars Technical Commentaries have attempted to derive scientific meaning from the term MGLT, and apply real-world physics to Star Wars spacecraft. Within the games, 1 MGLT is approximately equal to 1 meter per second. Abstract measurements of speed that judged relative speed had previously been used in the Star Wars role-playing game (WEG), and the relative speeds shown in the X-Wing series were generally consistent with the speeds shown in prior materials. The term MGLT was invented originally in the X-Wing computer game series as a term to explain the top speed of spacecraft in the games. Meaning, however the accepted fan speculation that the acronym MGLT actually stands for Micro-Gravity Linear (Acceleration) Tolerance, a measure the rate at which the ion thrusters of a particular ship are capable of increasing the absolute speed of a vessel in a micro-gravity (space) environment. MGLT is also known as 'Megalight.' The acronym MGLT has never been given any official Unit-the MGLT, a unit of acceleration in common use throughout the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire, and the New Republic. In the fictional Star Wars universe, interstellar vessels are rated for their sub-light speed in a common An A-Z text listing of all Star Wars Ships, Vehicles, Bases and Stationsīases & Space Stations from our Features Menu.
