Stardates varied wildly and were not necessarily sequential, though they generally increased over time.[1][2][3][4][5]
Reference Stardates
Unrelated to other Stardate systems, Reference Stardates were based on the Earth calendar and could be calculated retroactively. Using the Earth year 2000 as a baseline, Reference Stardates marked centuries ahead of a forward slash, followed by two digits for the year, two for the month, a decimal, and the date (e.g. Reference Stardate 1/5104.16 for 16 April 2151, or -1/6609.08 for 8 September 1966).[6][7]
24th Century
In 2262, a new stardate system was introduced. This married the previous system with the Reference Stardate system by having 1000 stardates be equivalent to one Earth year, but remained otherwise independent from the Earth calendar. Each stardate was approximately 8 hours, 45 minutes long, and is subdivided by a decimal; the number of digits following the decimal point could be used to calculate the precise time with great detail.[8]
