Talk:Galactic Standard Calendar

Does anyone know what dating system was used in the KOTOR era? Certainly not BBY, GR or even RR... (Or maybe there is no canonical one, so it's safe to introduce an arbitrary system in a fanfic? :)) - Sikon [ Talk ] 17:03, 20 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I know this is Fanon but, what about PFR or Post Formation of the Republic, therefore KotOR would take place 25,000 PFR.Adventfear 12:51, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with Adventfear. Since we know (or believe) the Galactic Republic was formed in 25,000 BBY (or around there), hence, the Sith War would be from 21,000-21,004 PFR.
 * Could we edit that in here somehow? Doran 22:40, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

GR to GSC
Can we assume that when the New Republic converted from the Great ReSychronization calendar system to the new Galactic Standard Calendar, the did not decide to begin the first month of the first year on the day of the battle? I would assume that they merely changed 35 GR to 0 BBY, so that the day of Alderaan's destruction went from 35:3:7 GR to 0:3:7 BBY. Otherwise, all specific dates offered by Galaxywide NewsNets or Holonet News are useless. Thoughts?--SparqMan 20:13, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that's a good assumption, since it seems all the New Year's fete weeks didn't change dates (nor end up in the middle of the year). QuentinGeorge 07:45, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I dunno; it certainly seems in the sources that use the BBY/ABY dating that the Battle of Yavin is the zero point. That doesn't make the dates in the news useless, it just means that there's an extra layer of math to get their dates in relation to Yavin. jSarek 11:20, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Just a question, is the GSC format the same as GR (Year:Month:Day)?

Name
I think Calendar's name is non-canonical. Srini 16:30, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

10 vs 12 months

Empire Day
At what point in the year 19 BBY did Empire Day take place. What month, what day of the month? Please give clarification.
 * It is probably not known because of the lack of information. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I've noticed with aloto f Fanon userpages on Wookieepedia (i brows them for writeing ideas) that people tend to use a certain idea for dateing ujseing there own birthdays in relation to 1977/0 BBY
