Kellicam
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Kellicam is a Klingon unit of length measurement.
[edit] Comparative list of length
- The T'Karath Sanctuary is located roughly 37 kellicams south of Mount Seleya. (TNG: "Gambit, Part II")
- Klingon transporter systems have a range of 20,000 kellicams. (TNG: "Redemption")
- It was stated in "A Matter Of Honor" that Federation transporters have a range of 40,000 kilometers. Suggesting Klingon transporters have a similar range, this would indicate that 1 kellicam is approximately equal to 2 kilometers. This is also the measurement given by the Star Trek Encyclopedia.
- While searching along the Cardassian border for the IKS B'Moth, General Martok wanted the IKS Rotarran to maintain a distance of at least 5,000,000 kellicams from the border. When the B'Moth was finally located, it was discovered adrift 500,000 kellicams inside Cardassian territory. (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire")
