Timeline

A Note on Time: There are several ways to denote the passage of time in the Starsong Universe. For the most part, the original human worlds use the Terran (Earth) Standard calendar, which is abbreviated as TSC.

The colony worlds in the Hyades will often use a common calendar, abbreviated as SHA, which means "Secundum Hyades Adventum" (latin for "After Hyades Arrival"). This calendar is based on a 365 day year, like Earth, although it has different months. It is the standard when referencing events on an interstellar scale. However, each planet also has it's own calendar that it uses that is local and specific to that world.
