Hey there newbie GM here, I've been reading and studying most of the books so we could start some of the premade adventures (I'm lazy so I find hard designing my own stories/maps/ect.), just yesterday the crew cleared the Shatters, yeah I know everybody says that adventure is horrible (and compared to Edge of Darkness it really is bad, very bad) that adventure but I just wanted a quick introduction to the game and a combat trial for my PCs.

So, cut to the point they sorted that mess up and now they are on their way to Scintilla for the Edge of Darkness adventure, problem is, how long does it take them to get there? Ok, they get a lift from a mineral transport ship that was heading there, but how much does it take to Scintilla from Sepheris Secundus, and how much time in general does space travel take, any way to figure that out? Thanks!

If you use this little handy tool, you will find that the warp journey takes just a few hours, and that between 2 and 10 days pass in the real world. All depending on the capabilities of your ship and navigator. Of course, to get to and from the warp-transit zone you have to travel sub-lightspeed between planet and "safe distance" which is lamentably undefined in canon.

Anything from hours to weeks, all depending on how you wish to portray galactic travel in your game. Is it like hopping on a jet to the Bahamas? Or is it like booking passage on an ocean liner which takes 8 weeks between it's ports of calls?

Thanks, great tool, well I guess its mostly up to me, but I had no clue if how much time they should spend on a ship, so, is warp travel common, or is normal travel still mostly used?

If you by "Normal" mean travel without crossing the Warp, then Warp travel is all there is.

Without Warp-travel, you cannot exceed the speed of light. Considering that the Calixis sector is some 200 Light YEARS across, you see that it would take decades to travel to even the closest stars

(Scintilla and Sepheris Secundus are some 53 Light years apart. You'd need to accelerate to the half-point mark, then decelerate as you approach your destination, so your average speed would be half your maximum speed. But even forgetting all that, you can see it would take more than 53 years to travel that distance. For a longish and slightly geeky discussion about this subject, see this thread in the Rogue Trader forum).

But there are 2 kinds of Warp travel. Navigated, and calculated. The calculated kind means you've replaced your mutant Navigator with a Cogitator, which calculates the vectors and other fluff-things needed to make a Warp jump, but it is limited to jumps at most 5 Light Years long. The calculation takes time, and it requires detailed charts, so it is limited to the best mapped, well traveled lanes (those lightning paths on the maps).

With a Navigator on board, you can go further, faster and off the charts, so to speak

Ok, great, wasn't so sure about that part, thanks a lot you enlightened me
