A Parsec (or par-second) is a unit of [[time]], equivalent to the average time it takes one [[second]] to travel one centimeter in a [[vacuum]]. There are approximately 31,536,000 Parsecs in a [[light year]], give or take a few depending on how fast light is traveling in your vacuum's [[Event Horizon]].

Highly sensitive measurement devices are used to calculate the exact duration of a Parsec.

A Parsec (or par-second) is a unit of time, equivalent to the average time it takes one second to travel one centimeter in a vacuum. There are approximately 31,536,000 Parsecs in a light year, give or take a few depending on how fast light is traveling in your vacuum's Event Horizon.
The Parsec is used to measure the time taken to complete a given leg of an interstellar journey. For instance, fourteen Parsecs is considered a good time to complete the Kessel run, and any time under twelve is superb.
A common error is attempting to use Parsec as a measure of distance instead of time. This unfortunate misuse dates back to a misinterpretation of the Bible, where the journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem is described as "A Parsec's Journey". Foolish scholars assumed this meant the distance between these cities defined a unit of length, while upon further review it was determined that this was just how long it took Jesus to teleport from one to the other.
