Would there have been a Federation Galactic Standard Calendar?
Given that the show is supposed to be set in "the third century of the new calendar," and IIRC in "Pressure Point" it is noted that the Federation brought in this calendar, one would assume so-- but then again, was it an abstract standardised system, applicable to any/all planets (a sort of Galactic Metric?), or simply the Earth calendar used as standard? For that matter, how *would* one develop an abstract standardised system that could be used on all planets?
All terribly confusing.
