Sublight was usually used to describe non-warp speeds, typically when either an impulse drive or thrusters would be used as propulsion for a vessel.
Sublight speeds were measured in sublight factors. Alternatively, warp factors, expressed as lower fractional values, were used to measure sublight speeds. (, )
