Timekeeping in the Terran Autocracy


By the time of the Terran Autocracy the Gregorian Calendar (the calendar we use today) is no longer in use and has been replaced by the "Oenotrian Calendar" whose years begin, not on January 1, but on December 21: the Winter Solstice.


The years used by this new calendar are labeled: A.S. for "Anno Scienta".
These years count from the launching of Mankind's first satellite in 1957 A.D. (1 A.S.)
and begin on December 21, 1956 A.D. (1 Capricorn, 1 A.S.)


Any years occuring before this date are labeled B.S. for "Before Sputnik"
Therefore December 20, 1956 A.D. = 30 Sagittarius, 1 B.S.





The Oenotrian Calendar:

The Rise of Civilisation on Earth
c.12,000 - 100 B.S.





The history of Civilisation begins some twelve thousand years before the advent of Space Travel, when the first human beings sowed the first crops and the settled the first villages. Slowly but surely, they left their primitive ways behind, and over the course of millenia, their villages grew to become the first walled cities, the cities united to become the first kingdoms, and the kingdoms were conquered to become the first empires.

Across the ages, these early civilisations would rise and fall, but eventually, four thousand years after the construction of the Great Pyramids, a spark of reason would ignite in the minds of men. A spark that would lead to an age when the light of Science and Reason would enlighten the World, and Man would grow to such a power that he was ready to conquer the universe...
