Usage examples of velocities.

Harpies and hyperspace starships spun and swooped around each other at hazardous velocities, their flights dangerously unstable as the massive distortion effects buffeted them as a tempest treated leaves.

All it took was the slightest graze, at those closing velocities both projectile and target alike detonated into billowing plumes of plasma.

Other stars, of course, have different orbital velocities, depending on their distance from the core, so their velocities relative to each other are also different.

The two very different starships matched velocities, and headed towards the squadron.

Starship and star were still moving at very different velocities as they orbited the galactic core.

The three Pax torchships drop from relativistic velocities under more than six hundred gravities of deceleration-what spacefarers for centuries have called "raspberry jam delta-v"- meaning, of course, that if the internal containment fields were to fail for a microsecond, the crews would be little more than a layer of raspberry jam on the deckplates.

At that distance even energy beams would seem to crawl toward their targets like lightning bugs on a black bedsheet, but the Pax ships carry hypervelocity and hyperkinetic weapons: essentially small Hawking-drive starships in their own right, some carrying plasma warheads, which are spun up to relativistic velocities in microseconds to detonate within the forest, others designed simply to drop back into real space, their mass enlarged, and to plow through the trees like cannonballs fired through wet cardboard at point-blank range.

Yes, velocities will be high, as will be our combined delta-v's if their ship commences deceleration toward Parvati, but relative velocities for the two ships will be almost nill.

The latter changes allow me to reach C-plus translation velocities much more quickly than standard spinships .

As it is, we'll just be able to match velocities for five or six minutes.

As the ship spun down from Hawking velocities, we asked that the hull be made transparent.

Normally we never would have exited from C-plus this close to a planet and moons-their gravity wells made spindown velocities very dangerous-but the ship had assured us that its augmented fields would handle any problems.

Raphael should be able to get in and translate back to quantum velocities if there is a threat to her capture.

Raphael's drive is largely a hoax: when it reaches near-quantum velocities, it keys a signal on a medium once referred to as the Void Which Binds.

The electric fields produced by that kind of release could accelerate electrons to enormous velocities, approaching that of light.
