Stardates Explained - 20051012.2131

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20051012.2131

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2005 10 12 . 21 31

That better?

20051012 means 12th October 2005, and 2131 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 9:31PM

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