[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] [QUOTE]Or it really was a system employed ship-by-ship, and not co-ordinated through a central Federation standard.[/QUOTE]Not "or" - "and". The 4000-range dates dictated by Decker appear in between episodes where 3000-range dates are dictated by Kirk; the two ships might thus live by different stardate systems. But there is no pressing reason to assume that they do, or that the airdate/production order is the real order of the events. There is lots of dramatic merit to the "day 204" interpretation, I guess. But even the earliest episodes of TOS use stardates in contexts that do not involve the [i]Enterprise[/i] or her mission. Kirk's tombstone already starts the trend, and the (admittedly nonsensical) personnel records of Mitchell and Dehner concur. History for Kodos the Executioner and Anton Karidian is given in stardate format, too. "Stardate" is something that can be understood outside any specific context. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
