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 2265 was devised: 0000-1717, which results in 4.7 stardates per 24 hours. Using this range as a guide, the following ranges were calculated per month for 2265:
- January: 0000-0145
- February: 0146-0277
- March: 0278-0423
- April: 0424-0564
- May: 0565-0710
- June: 0711-0851
- July: 0852-0997
- August: 0998-1143
- September: 1144-1284
- October: 1285-1430
- November: 1431-1573
- December: 1574-1719
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.
