Star Date Concord - repost from 2408.0709 S 1234.1

[Deputy Commander Turner]

Proper use of STARDATES within the 7th Fleet

It has been so ordered by this Concord.

A Stardate in a post will begin with the year 2408 (1 year before STO Launch)
followed by a decimal point "." then, a 4 digit number corresponding to the current Gregorian Calender month and year of the post. So todays date would be written as 2409.0709 - This is our Universal 7th Fleet Stardate

Then, creative license begins with "space" "S" for Supplemental "space"
any four numbers "." any one digit

These additional Stardates are a mathematical formula which varies depending on location in the galaxy, velocity of travel, and other factors, can vary widely from episode to episode.

So, The proper Universal Stardate plus Supplemetal for July 09, 2009

2408.0709 S 1234.1 or more correctly 2408.0709 S ####.#

"Stardate"was invented to avoid continually mentioning Star Trek's century, and getting into arguments about whether this or that would have developed by then. Pick any combination of four numbers plus a decimal point, use it as your story's stardate.

Great. This is easier to understand than the actual stardates in Star Trek. It took me FOREVER to learn exactly how to write those.

[Deputy Commander Turner]

Thanks, we tried to simplify it, but remain cannon.
