Stardates Explained - 19981118.0016

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 19981118.0016

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

1998 11 18 . 00 16

That better?

19981118 means 18th November 1998, and 0016 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 12:16AM

Stardates in the Star Trek universe work in an entirely different way. Wikipedia has a good explanation on how Stardates work.
