Synchronization

The Synchronization, or, the Sync is an IC event that happens once every four days to keep time flowing normally in a galaxy where everything is light years apart. It is a galactic phenomenon experienced by every planet in the sector. The Sync has huge cultural importance, as it allows time to pass in the same way for everyone, regardless of whether or not they're on a planet, a station, travelling through space, or anywhere else. Any interference with the Synchronization would be catastrophic to life, commerce, and travel. See also: Calendar, Galactic Year, Isochronon.
