Federal Time System

Overview

Federal time system is based on the time of the Old Earth. It is used in reference to interplanetary processes and not related to orbital cycles of any specific planet in the Federation.

Federal Year (FY) equals 12 Federal Months (FM), and 360 Federal Days (FD)

Each planet of the federation has local time which is used as a reference to planet bound processes.

For example, when planning project on planet Azor, federal clerk should describe its timespan in both Federal time units (FY, FM, FD) and in local time, like Azor Year (AY), Azor Month (AM) and Azor Day (AD)
