Cochrane

Unit of subspace distortion named after Zephram Cochrane, the inventor of warp drive. 1 Cochrane is the distortion required to propel a ship at lightspeed (warp 1). Thus, to travel at warp 2 (10x lightspeed), a distortion of 10 Cochrane's is required. However a 'Cochrane' is also used for the intensity of matter/antimatter-reaction.
