Why not just go with the universal and unitless proportion of "c"?

Or, for your slowpokes, parts per million or billion of "c".

cc, or centiC

What about μc or nc, a bit umder 300m/s & 3m/s, respectively.

It's just easiest, it's capped at c and 0 so all meters just need to go to 100.. If you don't want exact measurements you can always normalize the value
