Stardates Explained - 20151001.1216

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20151001.1216

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2015 10 01 . 12 16

That better?

20151001 means 1st October 2015, and 1216 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 12:16PM

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