Background[]

The stardate of 3823.7 is derived from Q-Squared. The format of this stardate is in keeping with the four-digit standard maintained in TOS. Another source provides a contradictory date, as Dark Mirror asserts that "Mirror, Mirror" occurs on stardate 4428.9. It is possible that this one or the other derived from a different system of dates.
