The Hexarian system of dates is denoted in relation to the eras of its largest civilisation. There are four ages in the Hexarian timeline: MF, RF, NF and AR.
Ages[]
MF[]
Mikaro Fandarya, or Pre-Empire, is the only backwards-counting era. It was retroactively put into place on the founding of the Elvan Empire, going backwards from that date.
RF[]
Ranu Fandarya, shortened from Years Empire, are the years following the founding of the Elvan Empire. They are spoken as X Years Empire. The era lasted for exactly 2128 Hexarian years.
NF[]
Niumo Fandarya, or Post-Empire, is the era of the Elvan (and later Hexarian) Republic. This era lasted for 1022 years.
AR[]
Aludaldorus Ranzuna, or Star Republic Era, is the current Hexarian age; marked by the transition from the Hexarian Republic and colonial states into a unified interplanetary nation: the Hexarian Star Republic.
The current Hexarian year is 371 AR.
Annual Calendar[]
Months[]
The Hexarian year consists of eight months of exactly 32 days: grouped into four pairs each known as Quarters. These are:
First Quarter[]
- Autelle
- Kotukar
Second Quarter[]
- Yantelle
- Zintukar
Third Quarter[]
- Heknar
- Boruran
Fourth Quarter[]
- Seitukar
- Nosumos
Note that the Hexarian definition of a year is based entirely on planetary rotations, and is actually 0.998 revolutions around Dejenna. Due to lack of seasons, the day-based definition is considered more useful as solar positioning is largely irrelevant to most Hexarians. But to differentiate the two, 256 planetary rotations is known as a Hexarian Year, while solar revolutions are known as a Dejennan Year.
