- "I have a vague idea how many ships there are in a squadron, you know."
"Yes, of course, sir. I know that, but given that the Verpine normally count in base six and humans use base ten, twelve, which to a Verpine is known as four fists, the potential for confusion warranted explanation." - ―Wedge Antilles and Emtrey
A fist was a number in the Verpine that was roughly equivalent to three in Galactic Basic Standard. Four fists were equivalent to a dozen, while forty-eight fists referred to a gross.[1]
