Stardates Explained - 20260119.0333

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20260119.0333

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2026 01 19 . 03 33

That better?

20260119 means 19th January 2026, and 0333 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 3:33AM

Stardates in the Star Trek universe work in an entirely different way. Wikipedia has a good explanation on how Stardates work.
