2nd/3rd edition DC Heroes puts the speed of
light as 28 APs instead of 29 APs, a light year as 51 APs instead of 52
APs and the Vegan System (Tamaran) as 58 APs away instead of 57 APs. By
my calculations 29 APs is the correct value for the speed of light. I don't
know how far away the Vegan system actually is though.
