3099 AC (4552 TD, 710 NTE) -- No map turn

A while ago, Kharzothia discovered that most civilizations in the galaxy (Ghallians, Storks, etc.) use galactic milliseconds for standard timekeeping, and count from a 0 point (in -9617 AC) set by the Lethokri, the inventors of the unit. It is based in the properties of the blitzium atom, so can be pretty well agreed upon. Kharzothia calibrated its atomic clocks to use the galactic millisecond after finding a Lethokri atomic clock artifact on Istillion back in 2128 AC.

So this is backstory for my MITW XXIX date converter, which uses galactic milliseconds for the purpose of a super precise standard unit for conversions. Btw, I'm making the converter canon for conversions, since the length of a Tagah year in the converter has changed slightly from 1.17 Zarakyth years to 1.1698198131908383101644728685951 Zarakyth Years (From dividing their galactic-millisecond-based orbital periods in a calculator. I did this slight change because, if NASA discovered a new exoplanet, would it really have a year exactly 17% longer than an Earth year, rather than something crazy like 16.981981319%?). AC, TD, and NTE are currently supported. MY isn't because it's just been too irregular. For canon story purposes, let's just say the Mutiali system is surrounded by brown dwarfs, black holes, and other gravitational anomalies that make Kafitia's year irregular and very hard to mathematically equate to other date systems.

Anyways, I was planning on making Kharzothia's own Tagah calendar with months and stuff built into the converter, but I decided not to since Ethan plans on ending this game by New Year's. (Maybe if I make another converter for a future MITW game, I'll do that)

So yeah, the converter's finished. You don't need to do the math anymore (I advise against it, due to errors you might make and for precision purposes).
