Stardates Explained - 20011211.0924

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20011211.0924

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2001 12 11 . 09 24

That better?

20011211 means 11th December 2001, and 0924 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 9:24AM

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