Stardates Explained - 20190926.1300

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20190926.1300

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2019 09 26 . 13 00

That better?

20190926 means 26th September 2019, and 1300 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 1:00PM

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