Galactic Standard Time
Game Star Date/Time
2187.157.19 (- year-2187, day-157, hour-19 -)
The inhabitants of Citadel Council Space utilize a standardized time system. This system is different from the Terran Coordinated Universal Time relied on by humans in that:
A galactic standard day comprises 20 hours.
- Each hour comprises 100 minutes.
- Each minute comprises 100 seconds.
- Each second is half as long as a human second.
As a result, a twenty-hour galactic standard day is 15.7% longer than a standard twenty-four hour Terran Coordinated Universal day, which means it lasts 27 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds in Earth-based time.
A galactic standard year is described as being an average of asari, salarian, and turian years and only 1.09 times longer than an Earth year. This means that a galactic standard year consists of 398.114 Earth days or 343.97 galactic standard days.
