A visualization of the 360 day Starmourn calendar. Click HERE for a larger image.

A Galactic Year is a standard measure of time in the Starmourn Sector.

All time devices are tuned to GST, ensuring an even measure of time across the galaxy.

  • One Galactic Year has 15 months in it.
  • Each month is 4 weeks long.
  • Each week has 8 days (so there are 24 days in every month).
  • Each day has 24 hours.

Therefore, there are 360 days in a year.

The Sync

Once every four days, you will experience "the Sync." The Synchronization is a galactic phenomenon that, among other things, results in recalibration of most mindsims.

* * * OOC translation below! * * *
  • One game day = six real-life hours
  • One game month = six real-life days
  • One game year = ninety real-life days
  • The Sync happens every RL day at 0:00 GMT (often the best way to account for time zones for game events is to use 'sync-2' or 'sync+3' etc.)
  • To work out a future date in Starmourn in-game use the command: DATE <DAYS FROM NOW>

e.g. if you'd like to know the in-game date 12 IC days from now, you would type DATE 12 - which would give you the IC date in 3 RL days, as IC days are 6 hours long.

Other in-game syntaxes that may prove useful:
  • DATE OOC d m y (example: DATE OOC 14 Covenant 960)

This will give you the OOC date of your IC time input (does not work for dates that are already passed)

  • DATE IC d/m/y/h (example: DATE IC 23 5 2019 8)

This will give you the IC date of whatever your OOC time input is (does not work for dates that are already past)
