Universal Galactic Date

History
The Universal Galactic Date (UGD) is a pan-dimensional, secular unit of time defined by The U.U. at the Vericon Galactic Summit of 567 UGD. It was proposed by Fredrique II in 562 UGD and after the Epic Quantum War part II the newly-formed United Universes voted to make it the official timescale for the Universe. This decision was not without controversy, as The Helation Constitution already was using "Universal Time" and since they had conquered all of what is now known as Sectors 14 through 37, they had a substantial amount of races who had been using "Universal Time" for 500 generations. They would continue to use "Universal Time" until the Bosambingle Revolt dissolved the Helation Constitution and the newly-formed Bosambingle Council finally made Universal Galactic Date the official timescale of Sectors 14 through 37.

Definition
The Universal Galactic Unit of Time and Space is based around "Relds". One Reld is defined as the time taken for the planet Vericon 1 to make 1/100th of an orbit around the Vericon Neutron Star. Vericon 1 was chosen as it is widely accepted to be the first planet in the known universe to form life. One Universal Galactic Unit of Time and Space is equal to 10 Relds. Universal Galactic Date goes up in increments of 1 Universal Galactic Unit of Time and Space from 0 UGD, which was the Dimensional Collision where our dimension collided with the 9856th dimension, segmenting time in such a way that sub-atomic processes could only be defined in tiny segments (known to Earthlings as “planck time”)). UGD can be written as negative to denote time before the dimensional collision, and can have decimal places to show the exact moment a event occurred. e.g: 234.4527294628 UGD or 1008.25 UGD.

Conversions
Here are some common conversions between other timescales used/in use in various parts of the Universe:


 * 15 Sempillion Quarters = 1 UGU*
 * 3.456 Globgogabgalabian Years = 1 UGU
 * 0.00000009991 Fgyks-22 Billioms = 1 UGU
 * 6.7 Earth years = 1 UGU
 * 1 billion Angom Angloms = 1 UGU
 * 2.5 Helation Constitution Universal Time Units = 1 UGU
 * 1 Poopian PoggleSnuffs = 1 UGU (coincidental)

* Universal Galactic Units of Time and Space

Here are some reference points for important dates on other timescales:


 * Quark war (347 UGD)
 * year 0 (Earth) (1000 UGD)
 * 1st Quarter (Sempillia) (-60 987 UGD)
 * Solar system demise (The forgotten race of sentient snails) (approx. -456 900 UGD)
 * Helation Constitution formed (-1999 UGD)
