MegaTravller most often eschewed CT's conventions tons and listed displacement in kiloliters.
To convert, do the following:
- 1 kiloliter = 1 cubic meter
- 1 ton = 13.5 cubic meters = 13.5 kiloliters
- To figure out tonnage in CT / HG tersm, divide the kiloliters quantity by 13.5

Notes (2007)
The origin of the Traveller displacement ton derives from the starship maps produced in early Traveller products:
- Snapshot used 1.5 meter squares for mapping combats, specifically the interior of starships.
- Two of these squares, with a 3 meter deck separation was defined as a "ton" of space.
- It was later discovered that 13.5 cubic meters is about the same as a ton of liquid hydrogen.
