Travel times for system ships

For the life of me I can't remember if there are any distinct rules for the time needed for a system ship to travel X amount of distance. I'd like to think that this type of ship is faster in SF than in it is in our current time, but I don't know if that's possible. KH states that these ships have chemical drives, but I was wondering if they could have an ion drive instead - possibly if it made them faster.

I ask as I have an adventure in development where I want the players to travel in a CDC system ship to an asteroid belt at the edge of a system. I wasn't sure how long this would take, but was imagining an HS:4 ship that either has chemical or an ion drives.

This could go into Frontier Explorer at some point. It's had some playtesting via the homebrew adventure that kicked off this thread. I need to rustle up some illustrations and diagrams.
