Lightspeed

The Millennium Falcon entering hyperspace

"Watch the thrust. We're going out of here at lightspeed."

―Han Solo, during the skirmish aboard the Eravana

Lightspeed was slang referring to the threshold at which a starship first entered hyperspace, although in actuality, the potential velocities achieved whilst entering or travelling within hyperspace surpassed the speed of light.
