Units of time

  • Mitic ~ 0.45 seconds
  • Tic = 100 tics ~ 45 seconds
  • Unit = 100 tics ~ 75 minutes
  • Cycle = 20 units ~ 25 hours
  • Set = 25 cycles ~ 26 days
  • Rot = 15 sets ~ 13 months

There are 15 months in the Cyantian Calendar, equivalently, each consisting of 25 days. The 'extra' months would be in the Fall and Spring.

The prefix 'Mi' might mean the same as 'centi' - as in centimeters are 1/100th of a meter.

Unknown units of measurement

A 'pellot' might be a unit of distance or energy. In one strip Khelis asks for a 0.45 pellot weapon.
