- This article is specific to stardates as used in the series USS Baldwin
Stardates are timekeeping dates commonplace in the Federation. It is derived from the universal base measurement of time, the second.
As of 2377, 1 stardate unit is equal to 33,000 seconds, or 9 hours, 10 minutes. 1,000 stardate units is slightly longer than 1 Earth Year.
- Note - the '#' sign indicates that these numbers are for the time within the year. Many times, there can be up to two decimal places.

Background[]
The Stardate Calculator for USS Baldwin was initially developed around Andrew Main's Stardates in Star Trek FAQ, tweaked slightly to allow for a continuous stardate progression. When tweaked to account for VOY: "Homestead" occurring in April 2378, the Stardate Calculator was completely rewritten. Seconds were used as a base for the new Stardate Calculator, as JavaScript computes dates based on the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970. It also made logical sense, since days and years are based on the 'local' references (the rotation and orbit of a planet), whereas the second is officially defined by atomic
