Stardates Explained - 19981207.1625

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 19981207.1625

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

1998 12 07 . 16 25

That better?

19981207 means 7th December 1998, and 1625 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 4:25PM

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