Galactic Standard Time
Galactic Standard Time (GST) (ππ©π€π¨πππ¦π πππ¨π―ππΌπ ππ²π₯) is a widely-adopted, uniform system of time measurement developed in response to the rapid dissemination of information across the galaxy after the complete decryption of the Martian Backup. With numerous species and cultures using different methods of timekeeping, the need for a standardised time system became apparent to maintain efficient communication, trade, and cooperation between various galactic factions.
Inspired by the terraformation of the planet Hora, Yalgeth Labs devised a new time system based on Hora's unique orbital characteristics. The planet was deliberately shaped and positioned in orbit to facilitate accurate time measurement according to the following specifications:
- 1 day on Hora consists of 10 hours
- 1 hour is divided into 100 minutes
- 1 minute is composed of 100 seconds
- A full orbit of Hora around its star takes 400 days
Galactic Standard Time proved to be a successful solution to the issues arising from fragmented timekeeping across the galaxy. Today, it serves as a foundation for synchronised activities, events and, ultimately, the unity between diverse galactic civilisations. Its widespread adoption is a testament to the lasting impact of Human knowledge and the increasing interconnectedness of the galaxy's inhabitants.
