Stardates Explained - 20061209.1930

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20061209.1930

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2006 12 09 . 19 30

That better?

20061209 means 9th December 2006, and 1930 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 7:30PM

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