The Galactic Calendar
The Galactic Calendar, also known as the Standard Galactic Calendar or the Coruscant Standard Calendar, is a dating system used in the Star Wars universe to record time and events. It is used by the inhabitants of the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire, and other factions in the Star Wars galaxy.
History
The Galactic Calendar was established by the Galactic Republic during the height of its power. The calendar's epoch, or starting point, is the year of the Battle of Yavin, which occurred in 0 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) when the Rebel Alliance destroyed the first Death Star. The year 0 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin) marked the beginning of the Galactic Calendar.
Structure
The Galactic Calendar consists of 365 standard days, divided into 12 months. Each month has 30 or 31 days, except for the last month, which has 5 or 6 days, depending on whether it is a leap year or not. The names of the months are derived from various planets or systems in the Star Wars galaxy.
Months
Here are the names of the months in the Galactic Calendar, along with the corresponding Earth months:
- Atrivis - corresponds to January
- B'omarr - corresponds to February
- Taris - corresponds to March

The Galactic Calendar also has a system of weeks, with seven standard days in each week. The days of the week are named after celestial bodies in the Star Wars universe, such as Coruscant, Tatooine, and Dagobah.
Usage
The Galactic Calendar is used in various forms of media, including novels, comics, and video games set in the Star Wars universe. It is often used to date events in the Star Wars timeline, and is a popular reference among Star Wars fans.
While the Galactic Calendar is not used in the real world, its establishment and usage within the Star Wars universe adds to the richness and depth of the fictional universe. It is an example of how a fictional dating system can contribute to the world-building and storytelling of a work of fiction.
