orders.

hetch
The universal unit for spacecraft speed used in Farscape. No reference is
ever given to exactly how fast a hetch is, but it can be used to compare the
speed of different crafts. For example, a Marauder has a top speed of hetch
7, while Moya can achieve hetch 9 on a good day. Early in the show when Moya
is weakened by the brutal removal of her control collar she only manages
hetch 2 by comparison. Hints throughout the series have indicated that a
hetch is some degree faster than the speed of light, such as during season
4, when John returns to Earth he tells D.K that it is FTL (faster than
light). This would make a great deal of sense, since all other race's ships,
such as the Peacekeeper Command Carrier, lack starburst ability, and without
FTL a galactic civilisation would be impossible (it would also be impossible
for them to even consider catching Moya a possibility in their lifetimes if
they had no FTL, given Moya's ability to starburst).
