** To be fair, Serenity can actually get up to about a third of light speed using an inertia screening technology and gravity manipulation. In the series, it pretty consistently is shown to take a few hours to go between planets or from a planet to its moon, but it takes about a week to go between the major quadrants (like Blue Sun to Red Sun) and two weeks to cross the entire 400 AU. The main hiccup here is that light takes more like 80 weeks to reach the edge of our solar system (100 AU).
