Stardate Question

[Lord Revan]

I need some dates for my STO Foundry projects, so what would be the Stardates (using the TNG-era system which STO seeems to use) for these dates?

• May 6th 2345
• Febuary 20th 2400
• October 15th 2400

Try this:

Failing that, there are a billion other stardate converters on Google.

There are very different definitions of stardate in Star Trek, according to Memory Alpha.

Going with the most simple form that has a usable system:

41000.0 is somewhere in 2364 according to TNGs "The Neutral Zone"

1000 stardate units are equivilant to a solar year of 365.25 years.

The fractions are the actual time of the current day...

Your given dates then would be

• 22342 - May 6th, 2345
• 77136 - Feb 20, 2400
• 77788 - Oct 15th, 2400

thanks, I'll have to double check that STO uses the TNG system but the "time of day" wouldn't be really needed as the first date is a date of birth of one of the characters and the second that third are the starting and ending point of a conflict.

Are there specific hours and/or minutes for those dates?

TNG era calendar has 1.0 Stardate equal 9.5 hours

I found it helpful as it goes through the various instances of stardates being discussed in the show and compares them to different holidays and celebrations to draw conclusions on it.

Going by the TNG calculator it has the dates translate to the following:

1. May 6th 2345 0000=Stardate 24641.31

• Febuary 20th 2400 0000=Stardate 74954.81

• October 15th 2400 0000=Stardate 75553.05

with the exception of the Birtdate it's kind of hard pin down an exact time of day when they started or when they ended as they're part of a war that didn't end until 2410 (can you tell definitive starting and ending points for Battle of Stalingard for example).
