A NOTE ON ILDIRAN UNITS OF TIME
Since Ildirans evolved on a planet of constant sunlight, naturally their race does not measure time in segregated units we know as the “day,” “week” (the length of a phase of the Moon), and “month” (based on the lunar cycle). However, the Empire uses time units of generally similar lengths.
For the convenience of the reader, rather than inundating the text with numerous alien-sounding words, I have used the rough equivalent in Trade Standard. Bear in mind that when an Ildiran speaks of a “day,” he means the generally accepted length of a waking-sleeping cycle, and not specifically twenty-four hours.
