Timekeeping

Coordinated Times:

UT1: Universal Time (Sol/Earth)
NCT: Niecti Coordinated Time (Mainworld)
ECT: Ekiri Coordinated Time (Inner Gas Giant)
PCT: Probuerrim Coordinated Time (Outer Gas Giant)

Units of Timekeeping: Years, Months, Weeks, Days / Sols, Days of the Week, Shifts, Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Local equivalents of the traditional Sol/Earth months, but with different length based on local time.

Local equivalents of the traditional Sol/Earth days of the week, but with different length based on local time.

Basis for Time:

January 1, 4289 OC (Old Calendar)
887,585 MJD (Modified Julian Date)¹⁾
3,287,585 JD (Julian Date)²⁾.

Metric Time

Moving out of the Sol system, the Alliance ultimately adopted Metric Time³⁾.

Metric Time divides a day into 10 metric hours of 100 metric minutes of 100 metric seconds each.

Spacecraft and stations typically divide the 10 metric hour day into 5 seperate shifts of 2 metric hours each.

Local “midnight” occurs at 10.00MT, with first shift from 10.00MT, through 1.00MT up to 2.00MT.

Second shift or “morning” spans 2.00MT through 4.00MT.

Third shift or “day” spans 4.00MT through “noon” at 5.00MT to 6.00MT.

Fourth shift or “evening” spans 6.00MT to 8.00MT.

Fifth shift or “night” spans 8.00MT to 10.00MT.

A metric hour equals 2.4 Sol/Earth standard time hours.

A metric minute equals 2.4 Sol/Earth standard time minutes.

Most people work 2 shifts “on” and have 3 shifts “off” work.
