Random question I know but ive been thinking about the system the Imperium uses for measurement, is it Imperial, Metric or a combination of the two depending on the author writing the book? Any thoughts....

The galaxy is the Emperor's, and anyone or anything who challenges that claim is an enemy who must be destroyed

They use a combination of the two, clearly!

For things like the range of their weapons or how far they can run, they use inches.
For things like how far apart they space themselves when teleporting, they use millimeters.
