Calendar
I'm adopting the Tapani Sector calendar naming for months, because it's cooler than "Month 1". The structure of the Galactic Standard Calendar is as follows:
- 368 days=1 year
- 60 seconds=1 minute
- 60 minutes=1 hour
- 24 hours=1 day
- 5 days=1 week
- 7 weeks=1 month
- 35 days=1 month
- 10 months + 3 festival weeks + 3 holiday days=1 year
Each day is named:
- Day 1: Atunda
- Day 2: Katunda
- Day 3: Satunda
- Day 4: Datunda
- Day 5: Natunda
The months, holidays, and festival weeks are structured as follows:
- Month 1: Elona
- Month 2: Kelona
- Holiday 1: Republic Day
- Month 3: Selona
- Festival Week 1: The Festival of Stars. It is marked by vacations.
- Month 4: Telona
- Month 5: Nelona
- Holiday 2: Labor Day
- Month 6: Helona
- Festival Week 2: The Festival of Life. It is marked by parties, get-togethers, and gift-giving.
- Month 7: Melona
- Month 8: Yelona
- Holiday 3: Supreme Chancellor's Day
- Month 9: Relona
- Month 10: Welona
- Festival Week 3: New Year Fete Week
Galaxy Map
I am going to use a combination of maps for purposes of determining planet locations and travel times. There is no definitive map of the Star Wars galaxy, so I am going to use my best judgement from canon and fan-generated content.
Some general rules:
- Using trade routes/hyperspace lanes cut travel times considerably (half)
- Uncharted routes require astrogation rolls (even if an astromech is performing it) and travel time is doubled
- Astrogation rolls can affect travel time
- Charted routes don't need to be rolled, but can be if you want to make an attempt at shortening the route
