Calendar of the Second Terran Empire
The Second Terran Empire counted years according to the Holocene Era (HE), the start of which was arbitrarily fixed at 12,000 BCE. Thus, CE dates can be found by subtracting 10,000 from HE dates; i.e. 20,724 HE = 10,724 CE.
The Second Empire year is 400 standard days. The year is divided into ten months of 4 tendays each.

Borshallan Gravity Warp
Weapon capable of creating a momentary point-source of up to 1000 gees at a range of several kilometers.
Developed on Borshall in TE 309.
