15 Yahren?
O.k., if I have this right there was a "15 Yahren Convention" in 1993. But that was 15 years after TOS. I thought a Yahren was 250 days. I did the math and that would make it about 22 yahren. :wtf:

Hi Mustex! Actually, I think a yahren is an exaggerated tale spun by old warriors around a campfire...
:D |
lol muffut :D
I just assumed it was the colonial year (obviously shorter than earth years) ;) |
I would ask Kitty how long a yarn is.

Where'd the info come from that a yahren was only 250 days?
...and has anyone asked Kitty how long the yarn is? ;) |
As far as the 250-day calendar for the Colonial measurement of a "Yahren", that comes from Richard Hatch's novels, not from the series. I suppose it depends on the reader if they want to take that reference as "canon" or not.
The word, "Yahren" is also the German word for "Year". As far as the Convention title goes, if you speak German, it's correct. Iit seems a bit illogical holding them to an obscure reference in a book that was written well after the Convention was held. I mean, Trek fans interpret the "stardate" reference so they can use it to get current dates out of it - it's not real, just a fictional reference. Best, Bryan |

That would make a colonial yahren about 2/3 of an earth year. Most of the time earth times are used it is a writing mistake in the series. |
Richard used a bunch of material from the Colonial Warriors Technical Manual, which he placed at the end of one of his novels. For that act alone he got a mauling from certain quarters of fandom.
http://www.kobol.com/archives/timeunit.html Personally, having invested (or wasted if you prefer) the time into figuring out the Colonial System merely reinforced my opinion that the sooner these Colonialisms were flushed out "canon", the better. Note - there was no "day" in TOS, although you might have gotten away with time cycle. |
