List of measurement units

This is a list of measurement units used throughout galactic history in science, mathematics, and other studies.

Galactic Standard Notation was an interplanetary decimalised system of measurement that was the common system of measuring units used by most of the Human civilizations.

Distance

 * 1 nanometer
 * 1 millimeter (mm)
 * 1 centimeter
 * 1 glekk (Twi'lek unit of measure)
 * 1 inch
 * 1 foot (plural "feet")
 * 1 yard
 * 1 meter (m) or Imperial standard meter
 * 1 Trogan meter = 25% larger than Imperial standard meter
 * 1 phon
 * 1 kuba = the distance of a Jawa clan in single file, about 2 m
 * 1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meters (referred to by pilots as a "klick")
 * 1 khelter = 1 km
 * 1 salt pan = 1.2 km
 * 1 mile = 1.6 km
 * 1 visvia = 1.6 km
 * 1 light year = 9.5×1015 meters
 * 1 parsec = 31×1015 meters=3.26 light years

Temperature

 * 1 degree standard, equivalent to centigrade or °C=whereas 0 is the freezing point of water and 100 is its boiling point.
 * Celsius

Time

 * 1 nanosecond
 * 1 microsecond
 * 1 second
 * 1 Imperial minute
 * 1 minute=60 seconds
 * 1 hour=60 minutes
 * 1 day=24 hours

 * 1 standard month (10-month calendar)=7 weeks
 * 1 standard year ≈ 368 days
 * 1 decade
 * 1 standard century=100 standard years
 * 1 millennium
 * 1 ket
 * 1 klekket=2 standard months
 * 1 grimnal
 * 1 progression=1 year

 * 1 gigaton=1,000,000,000 tons of TNT
 * 1 watt (W)
 * 1 gigawatt
 * 1 Energy Unit, approximately the energy required to power a single shot from a standard blaster
 * 1 Power Unit, possibly equal or close to an Energy Unit

Frequency

 * 1 microhertz

Propulsion

 * 1 KTU

Musical units

 * Key, as in "Key of Cresh"
 * Octave

Behind the scenes
The metric system is the primary form of measurement. However temperature units would not be named Celsius, Kelvin, or Fahrenheit, since they were named for men from Earth, but rather by centigrade or the more benign "standard" developed in the online Visual Guides. It is also interesting to note that the units of watt and joule are used for energy, though their names are derived from men from Earth as well.

The metric system also applies to quantities as well, beyond the standard SI prefix. See Large Numbers for more details.
