<ref name="ST3Date">''Star Trek II'' makes it clear that there are 1000 star-days in an Earth calendar year (Carol Marcus' recording was dated Stardate 7130, and said to be a year prior to the events of the film, which began on Stardate 8130). This means that there are approximately 2.74 star-days per Earth day. Stardate 8130 was also given as Admiral Kirk's birthday, which was established in "A Quality of Mercy" (SNW) as 22 March. Given this information, the 80-star-day difference between ''Star Trek II'' and ''III'' means that ''Star Trek III'' is set 29 days later, on 20 April.</ref>
