Greeting and salutations,

My name is Lyserg Diethel and I have just arrived in this world. I was wondering if any of you would be so kind as to share the year it was in the world you came from? It seems that I've found myself roughly twenty years into the future and I'm curious to know if that's true for anyone else.

Additionally, if any of you have information about the outcome of a global tournament which took place on January 2000? The world history here doesn't align with what I know to be true back home and I need to know who came out the victor.

Thank you.

What? I don't care about that.

It would just limit responses to those most likely to be useful.

There are over a dozen officially recognized calendars in use throughout the galaxy, even more unofficial ones, and it's a headache to make sense of even for those of us who have a known timeline to work with. And that's just the galaxy I'm from.

I suppose it would be hard to decide on a single calendar when no planet would have the same rotation around the sun... if they even have a sun.

Sometimes they'll even have more than one. I haven't encountered anyone from a world that doesn't orbit a star, but you aren't too far off. There *are* habitable planets where you can hardly ever see the sun (if at all), although anyone from one is usually easy to recognize.

An Umbaran stands out next to a human, for instance. Even without knowing the difference, there are just enough differences that even the unfamiliar would sense something was off about them.
