Most of the plasma parameters that we come across are non-relativistic. However, relativistic plasmas that are often of interest to our community. Eventually, we should come up with some functionality so that people can calculate and/or work with quantities like the relativistic Alfven speeds, and so on. It's been a while since I've thought about relativity so I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.
I found a few resources that might be useful (though I didn't look into them much):
