Note
Using the stardate given in "Charlie X" (1533.1), coupled with the calendar date given in that episode ("Thanksgiving," which falls on 23 November in 2265), a range of stardates for 2268 was devised: 4794-5999, which results in 3.29 stardates per 24 hours. Using this range as a guide, the following ranges were calculated per month for 2268:
- January: 4794-4895
- February: 4896-4990
- March: 4991-5092
- April: 5093-5191
- May: 5192-5293
- June: 5294-5392
- July: 5393-5494
- August: 5495-5596
- September: 5597-5695
- October: 5696-5797
- November: 5798-5896
- December: 5897-5999
These date ranges are, of course, approximate; calendar dates on other entries have been calculated based upon these ranges, except where explicitly given in the original story.
