For the first movie, Mr. Main required the stardate range to slow considerably from both the series and the rest of the movies.
Main figured a rate of 0. For the spin off series Next Generation , Deep Space Nine , and Voyager , the writers marked out the season by using 5 digit stardates, starting at The first seasons of The Next Generation and Voyager also establish themselves to be set in and , respectively. Since Mr. To express other contemporary dates in The Next Generation Stardate format, use the calculator below. While there have been very few references to actual dates in more than episodes of Star Trek , it is possible to derive a fairly accurate correlation between the fictional Stardate system and calendar dates in The Next Generation , Deep Space Nine , and Voyager , based on facts from actual episodes and some calendar math.
The episode aired the week of January 9, two and a half years after "The Neutral Zone" , with a Stardate of Fact: According to the Calendar Mine 2. Therefore, the Hindu Festival of Lights would be celebrated in a five-day period starting on November 3, , and ending on November 7, , so Stardate Enterprise was commissioned.
Their first meeting was depicted on Stardate Fact: The Voyager episode "THE 37's" gave the calendar year as at the beginning of the second season, with a Stardate of Voyager 's computer indicates that the Voyager was launched in the year Fact: The date for the Voyager episode "" was given as April 22, No Stardate was given in the episode, but episodes airing before and after it had Stardates of and The following day, a captain's log is recorded on Stardate Given the above facts, a consistent Stardate system must incorporate the following dates: Stardate Stardate Stardate takes place seven years after Stardate April 22, , takes place between Stardates and However, "Data's Day" with a Stardate of If we apply each of the four possible Stardate ratios above to the known fact of the Voyager 's launch date in , then we get the following results:.
Given the above results, we can discard possibilities 3 and 4, since they do not fit with a Voyager launch date of If we apply each of these ratios to the fact that Stardate If we apply each of the above ratios to the fact that Stardate The highest possible Stardate-to-year ratio is With the two above conclusions, it is possible to calculate a calendar date for any Stardate given in The Next Generation , Deep Space Nine , and Voyager.
Subtracting 21, days, 1, minutes, from April 6, , calculates to Friday, July 5, , around noon. So we can conclude that Stardate During the run of The Original Series , there were few references to dates, nor even to the century in which the series took place. Furthermore, the Stardates used in The Original Series had a different starting point than The Next Generation Stardates, so it is impossible to directly extrapolate dates backwards from The Next Generation.
The episode takes place on Stardate Thus, for Picard's statement to be true on that date, Sarek would have been born between May 4, and May 3, Enterprise is celebrating Thanksgiving. The given Stardates for this episode were This is Fact: Captain Kirk's monologue in the opening titles of The Original Series established that the crew was on a five-year mission. The earliest Stardate in The Original Series was Fact: If episodes of The Animated Series are also considered part of the original five-year mission, then the earliest Stardate was Fact: In the Voyager episode "Q2," Icheb states that Kirk completed his historic five-year mission in Therefore, all episodes of The Original Series must have taken place after January 1, assuming it was exactly five years , and before January 1, Fact: Christmas is traditionally celebrated on December 25, and office Christmas parties are typically celebrated sometime in December.
If the Christmas party were the following year, then the difference of The Christmas party referred to could not be from the year before Thanksgiving in "CHARLIE X," since the possible date range for the five-year mission established in "Q2" dictates that the five-year mission did not begin before Having calculated above that Stardate Therefore, there must be at least This means that Stardate So, assuming the lowest possible Stardate-to-year ratio of
