The 'official' calendar of the church. The "present" is Triskadecember 844. Year numbers count down, and recorded history is reliable about as far back as 3800. Most planets' founding myths place the date around 8300-8500.
There are 100 ticks in a cent, 100 cents in an hour, and 25 hours in a day. It is worth noting that on most worlds, a 'day' is no longer related to any kind of natural cycle. On low-infrastructure worlds, and among farmers (to whom the world's period of rotation actually matters), an additional unit of time is the 'solar', lasting from one dawn to the next. Such people are known to use expressions of time such as "plus five-half" (written "+5/50") meaning half an hour past the first hour after local dawn. When dealing with people on other worlds, or calling people in a different timezone, everyone will be familiar with using the canonical datetime. Common usage also uses a 'minute', which is about 2 cents, and a 'second' of about 3 ticks.
7 days make a week, and 26-33 days in a month. A year is 13 months.
