1 Zoidian x 121 light years per year = huge forces applied to the Zoidian body.

In other words launch them at warp 11 and they'll arrive embedded into the mass packet much like cars embed themselves into buildings if they hit the building at 121 miles per hour.

Bah, Zoids are immune to gravity, temperature, and radiation - They're hardy souls alright; they can take just about anything. A bit of rapid deceleration like warp 11 to zero in .0000016 nanoseconds shouldn't upset them too much. Um, that is if my mathematical equasion is correct. Razz

121 ly per year = 121 x light speed = 36,274,887,418 m/s
given it travels half the distant the first year, I'll give you 1/2 year of acceleration.
.5 years = 15,778,462 s
acceleration = 36,274,887,418 m/s / 15,778,462 s = 2,300 m/s^2 (2 sig figures)

1.00 G is 9.8 m/s^2, your colonists would endure ~234 Gs for about 1/2 a year. The surface gravity of our sun is 28 Gs. Perhaps it could be approached by the surface gravity of a very dense white dwarf. It is nothing close to that of a neutron star though. During the very short journey into such an body as a neutron star, objects or gases would begin to approach the speed of light. If you could live there... I would be most impressed Shocked

To accelerate or decelerate from or to warp 11 in a small time frame could easily exceed the forces binding atoms together, making it quite impossible to survive with anything that looks remotely like what you started with.

Wow! Lookit all them numbers and symbols and stuff! "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with BS." I'm not sure which category all this falls into, but I'm impressed anyways. Laughing

I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
Math? Confused

Ummm, sure! Nod

I do FREESTYLE math.
