Stardates Explained - 20251227.0639

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20251227.0639

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2025 12 27 . 06 39

That better?

20251227 means 27th December 2025, and 0639 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 6:39AM

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