Stardates are a dating system used by StarCon and the Federation. It's not quite clear how to read stardates. Its suggested by the Klorox II Colony records that last digits just before the decimal point seems to relate to "days". For example Harry Kerry mentions 50 hours passing between first and second entry. The stardate changes from 3012.68 to 3015.68 (12 and 15 digits seem to represent passing days, while the first 2 digitans and decimal digits remain constant for whatever reason). .68 is less likely to represent a year as the game takes place in February 3009 or 3010 of standard earth dating.

- Stardates are timekeeping dates commonplace in the Federation. They were known as mission dates in the mirror universe. They are known as stonedates in Stone Trek and in Star Trek: The Stoneship Files.
- Stardates are used by people on Federation starships where planetary timescales are different on planets other than their homeplanets. On Earth a 1000 stardates is one human year while on Vulcan 1174 stardates is one vulcan year. As for one stardate, on Earth it's 8 hours, 45 minutes, and 32 seconds.
- The Federation were not the first to develop a stardate system. In the 2150s, the Xindi used them as a way of recording time. The system was also considered by the Vulcans at the same time. (ENT episode: "Damage") In either 2175 or 2176, stardates began being used for the first time, though Terran dates remained more popular. (TOS novel: Strangers from the Sky; NF - Double Helix novel: Double or Nothing)

| - Stardates are a dating system used by StarCon and the Federation. It's not quite clear how to read stardates. Its suggested by the Klorox II Colony records that last digits just before the decimal point seems to relate to "days". For example Harry Kerry mentions 50 hours passing between first and second entry. The stardate changes from 3012.68 to 3015.68 (12 and 15 digits seem to represent passing days, while the first 2 digitans and decimal digits remain constant for whatever reason). .68 is less likely to represent a year as the game takes place in February 3009 or 3010 of standard earth dating.
- Stardates are timekeeping dates commonplace in the Federation. They were known as mission dates in the mirror universe. They are known as stonedates in Stone Trek and in Star Trek: The Stoneship Files.
- The Federation were not the first to develop a stardate system. In the 2150s, the Xindi used them as a way of recording time. The system was also considered by the Vulcans at the same time. (ENT episode: "Damage") In either 2175 or 2176, stardates began being used for the first time, though Terran dates remained more popular. (TOS novel: Strangers from the Sky; NF - Double Helix novel: Double or Nothing) There are multiple systems of rendering stardates for easy understanding, leading to there being different expressions of stardates that could possibly refer to the same date. For example, the reference stardate system includes a prefix to show the progression of centuries, while shipboard stardates omit such prefix arrangements and are rendered differently. (FASA RPG module: Cadet's Orientation Sourcebook, et al. FASA RPG modules and supplements) During the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)'s first five-year mission between 2246 and 2251, the Federation were still preferring to use Terran dates as the standard time-keeping preset, but Captain Robert April decided that a better system needed to be used and outlined to Starfleet Command, upon the Enterprise's return to Earth in 2251, how the stardate system was more precise as a spacefaring method of timekeeping. (TOS - Enterprise Logs short story: "Though Hell Should Bar the Way") In the 24th century, Starfleet's Department of Temporal Investigations has agents trained to know a stardate down to the exact day and hour of an event. (DS9 episode & novelization: Trials and Tribble-ations) There have been a number of changes made to the way stardates are calculated and used in Trek over the history of the franchise. While the system in the Original Series had no clear pattern to the progression of stardates, in the latter series set in the 24th century, it was generally accepted that 1000 stardate units equaled one solar year, although some sources occasionally contradicted that simplification. By the alternate reality of the new 2009 Star Trek, stardates had been simplified to a decimal following the four-digit year.
- Stardates are used by people on Federation starships where planetary timescales are different on planets other than their homeplanets. On Earth a 1000 stardates is one human year while on Vulcan 1174 stardates is one vulcan year. As for one stardate, on Earth it's 8 hours, 45 minutes, and 32 seconds.
