The megalight per hour (abbreviated MGLT) was a unit used to measure the relative sublight speed of starships in realspace. For example, the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor was markedly faster (120 MGLT) than the BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bomber (70 MGLT).[1]
- RZ-1 A-wing interceptor: 120 MGLT[1]
- Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor: 118 MGLT[1]
- TIE/IN interceptor: 110 MGLT[1]
- TIE Advanced x1: 105 MGLT[1]
- Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter, T-65B X-wing starfighter: 100 MGLT[1]
- CR90 corvette: 81 MGLT[1]
- Millennium Falcon: 75 MGLT[1]
- Slave I, BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bomber, Sentinel-class landing craft, Providence-class dreadnought: 70 MGLT[1]
- MC80 Star Cruiser, Imperial-class Star Destroyer: 60 MGLT[1]
- Lambda-class T-4a shuttle: 54 MGLT[1]
- Solar sailer: 27 MGLT[1]
Behind the scenes

Industrial Light & Magic's spaceship speed and maneuverability chart created for Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi
The MGLT unit originated in a reference chart comparing the propulsive capabilities of starfighters, drawn by Industrial Light & Magic during the production of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.[2] Some of the figures provided in Star Wars Super Graphic: A Visual Guide to a Galaxy Far, Far Away are markedly different[1] than those shown on the original diagram.[2]
