A unit of measurement of distance, frequently used to measure inter-planetary distances. 1 Astronomical unit (AU) is about 150 million kilometers (or, more precisely, 149¨597 870 691 ± 30 metres), or about 93 million miles.
The Astronomical unit is derived from the average distance between the Terra and its Sun.
Because the definition of a Parsec relies upon the Astronomical unit, the AU has become a standard unit of measurement within the Imperium.
