Pallisican Scientific Standard Calendar
Adopted in 910 WG (6371 ASC), the Pallisican Scientific Standard Calendar (PSSC) is the official calendar system of Passio-Corum. Adopted as a replacement for the Weran Gherfan calendar system - itself unofficially adopted in Hamland around 5306 ASC - the PSSC determines the current year by dividing the current year according to the ASC calendar by the number of days in one Micrasian Orbital Period. The system was adopted by Passio-Corum during the reign of Oracle Opyeme Amor, on the basis that it reflects better than other calendar systems a modern, scientific understanding of Micras and its place in the Atos System.
Important Dates
To better understand the Pallisican Scientific Standard Calendar, please refer to the table below:
| Event | Event Date (Gregorian) | Event Date (ASC) | Event Date (PSSC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Establishment of the Republic of Passas | July 29, 2006 | 2549 | 13.92 (1392) |
| Establishment of Passio-Corum | January 1st, 2014 | 5275 | 28.82 (2882) |
| Annexation of Passas by Passio-Corum | January 8th, 2017 | 6365 | 34.78 (3478) |
| Adoption of the PSSC Calendar by Passio-Corum | January 14th, 2017 | 6371 | 34.81 (3481) |
Advantages
The greatest advantage of the PSSC system over others is its extremely high degree of precision. Unlike others, which have historically only provided information regarding the current year, the Pallisican Scientific Standard Calendar is able to provide specific details regarding not only the year, but also an exact astronomical time and date on Micras. The process for determining such information is outlined in the table below.
| Year ASC/Micrasian Orbital Period = Year PSSC | % of Year PSSC * Micrasian Orbital Period = Astronomical Day | % of Astronomical Day * Hours in Micrasian Solar Day = Astronomical Hour | % of Astronomical Hour * Minutes in Astronomical Hour (Assuming 60 minute hour) = Astronomical Minutes | Astronomical Time and Date DD/MM/YY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6412 / 183 = 35.03 | .03 * 183 = 5.49 | .49 * 12 = 5.88 | .88 * 60 = 52.8 | 5:52 PM 5/1/35 PSSC |
