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 2267 was devised: 3797-4793, which results in 2.75 stardates per 24 hours. Using this range as a guide, the following ranges were calculated per month for 2267:

• January: 3797-3881
• February: 3882-3958
• March: 3959-4040
• April: 4041-4125
• May: 4126-4207
• June: 4208-4292
• July: 4293-4377
• August: 4378-4459
• September: 4460-4541
• October: 4542-4626
• November: 4627-4708
• December: 4709-4793

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.
