Anyway, that's an excellent idea, Quarto... lets calculate back to present day (or at least 2621).

Righto...

'20 - (none)
'21 - .001
'22 - .074
'23 - .147
'24 - .220
'25 - .293
'26 - (none)
'27 - .001
'28 - .074
'29 - .147
'30 - .220
'31 - .293
'32 - (none)
'33 - .001
'34 - .074
'35 - .147
'36 - .220
'37 - .293
'38 - (none)
'39 - .001
'40 - .074
'41 - .147
'42 - .220
'43 - .293
'44 - (none)
'45 - .001
'46 - .074
'47 - .147
'48 - .220
'49 - .293
'50 - (none)
'51 - .001
'52 - .074
'54 - .147
'54 - .220
'55 - .293

And in 2001, Sivar-Eshrad takes place on .293, just like in '55. Next year, sadly, we won't have a Sivar-Eshrad. But then in 2003, it will double up as New Year's day :).

If you want to know all the years in between 2001 and 2620, I've just made an Excel file with all the years from 2001 until 2700. Excel finally came in useful, because it let me do this in about twenty seconds. So anyway, I can send it to you if you like.
 
Great! Yeah, please send me the file -- I have to re-calculate the Fleet Action timeline, because it's based around knowledge of the Sivar Ceremony date. (Plus I want to do a CIC update...)

(And I've got to calculate the Pukcal days...)
 
Sent. Regarding Fleet Action, there is no Sivar-Eshrad in '68, but there is one on the first day of '69, so presumably BoT took place in the last days of '68.
 
Got it -- but I was totally off about the Kilrathi year in the timeline... I lay down with a yellow pad, a Voices of War and my palm -- and calculated the following...

1 day = 1.77 moons
1 sun year = 522 moons
1 sun year = 295 days

I tested this information with all the Kilrathi dates in VoW, and it all works out right -- this is the proper data... so we should be celebrating a Sivar every 295 days.
 
Here's the conversion chart from 2621 onward... note how the Terran years line up with the Kilrathi ones from the Armada manual! Origin planned them to work out properly...

Two Sivar-Eshrads per year? Cool :).

Hmm, but now WCA would have to end before WC1, and indeed just two days after the Movie. Unless... do you think it's possible that WCA (or at least the last two episodes of it) took place during Thor's Hammer? Although this would complicate things a bit, it would at least explain why Thor's Hammer took so long.

By "day" you mean Terran or Kilrathi day?
 
By 'day' I mean day -- the Kilrathi call theirs 'moons'.

It makes most sense for WCA to take place in 2655 -- since that's what all the press material says... we just didn't think that was possible until now!
 
Thanks.
Just to assure I got it right: A Kilrathi moon is the equivalent to a Terran day (just longer)? And it means a Kilrathi year is shorter than a Terran year?

The Kilrathi Sun Year is 522 moons long.

A Terran day is 1.77 moons long.

A sun year is 295 Terran days long.

Hmm, it does too say that. So, 2655 it is, and presumably the last episode takes place on 2655.008 (since .303 is Firekka).
Though actually, based on the fact that the Tiger's Claw went to Goddard and into Kilrathi space alone, (except for the Reavers), I'd say that only the last two episodes took place after the victory in Vega. Well, I suppose that Ep. 11 could have also taken place then (since that's just a small convoy); and of course, if Ep. 11 took place then, then Ep. 10 could also have.

So, the first episode takes place before the Movie, episodes 2-9 take place over the course of WC1, and episodes 10-13 take place after WC1. How's that sound?
