Default Sci-Fi question on determing speed

In a spaceship that loses all internal electical power and has no working instruments. Could the crew determine the speed of the vessel if it wasn't within a solar system? Oh and obviously no outside observer could contact them. In what way, if any, could they determine there speed or would the correct term be velocity?
