quoudam72 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 12 months based apon the solar rotation of a planet in a solar system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 All the imperium uses the same time scheme... assume it to be about one earth year (don't ask about leap years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 365 Days*, 6 hours.*Or on LeapYear, 366 daysPlease don't ask for the leap seconds/minutes/hours :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Well leap years happen every 4 years making that particular year have 366 days, with the month of Feb have 29 days instead of 28 days thus making the extra day in the year. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Which makes 366 days :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 But how long is the dune standard year? It won't be based on earth because the imperium was established long after earth became obsalite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 One year = 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45.9 sec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Time isn't a constant factor so theoratically I don't believe that time can be explained. And a an earth year changes as far as I know. it's not constant either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Nimpigai: Â Well, the Earth does get about 2 inches closer (or is it farther?) from the sun each year, but that doesn't change the time much.Anyway, It's probably safe to assume that 1 S.Y. is the same as our year. Â Although "Old Terra" is uninhabited, it was the cradle of human civilisation, and there is really no point in changing the time because the seat of the Universe is somewhere else. Â Otherwise, there would have been confusing changes whenever the Seat moved (i.e. from S.S. to Kaitain).Also, each planet would no doubt have their own "local" years, which would be more practical in most cases. Â Standard Years would be used for political/chronological reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morden Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 are you refering to a pre scattering standard year or after the scattering?the different isnt much untill you get large numbers,from heretics it says Teg is nearly 300SY, and that its about 20years less than the old SY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
