- There are two possibilities here. Either 1000 stardates = 1 year or 1
- stardate=1 day [my theory]. Neither one fits in perfectly with what we know.
- If the former theory is true, then stardate 0 occurred in AD 2323. The second
- possibility would be AD 2250 or a decade or so before the NCC-1701 five-year
- mission began.

- The latter seems to make more "sense," but is contradicted by the fact that
- Wesley spent three years at the Academy and the difference in stardates is a
- nice and tidy 3000 - _NOT_ +-1100 as I had hoped it would be.
