→Length of Warp Travel
===Length of Warp Travel===
Estimating the length of a Warp Jump, at least for the [[Imperium]], is extremely difficult and inconsistent. As the Warp is ever-shifting, determining the length of a jump is difficult for even even semi-fluctuating passages. The [[Questio Logisticus]] branch of the [[Administratum]] is dedicated to this difficult task.{{Fn|11}} [[Image:WarpTravelEstimates.png|thumb|200px|right|A table with examples/estimates of travel duration through the Warp{{Fn|1a}}]]
One example is given for travel between the [[Hive World]] of [[Proxx]] and the [[Mining World]] of [[Hephastian]]. These planets are separated between dozens of light years and a standard voyage in the warp will take one to six weeks. However some voyages have been recorded as taking 1,200 years and another in as little as two minutes. 22% of the voyages have yet to reach their destination.{{Fn|11}}
