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 2266 was devised: 1718-3796, which results in 5.7 stardates per 24 hours. Using this range as a guide, the following ranges were calculated per month for 2266:

  • January: 1718-1894
  • February: 1895-2050
  • March: 2051-2227
  • April: 2228-2398
  • May: 2399-2575
  • June: 2576-2746
  • July: 2747-2923
  • August: 2924-3100
  • September: 3101-3271
  • October: 3272-3448
  • November: 3449-3619
  • December: 3620-3796

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.
