\nBased on evidence in the series, (And from the Colonial Warriors Technical Manual) a Colonial day (Sectarie) is approximately 40.3 Earth hours, a Colonial hour (Centar) is 101 Earth minutes (1.7 hours), and a Colonial Yahren is 166 Earth days long. Using these figures means that children of Canon characters are AT MOST 12 years old! This also means that descriptions of Colonials living 200 yahrens actually reflect a lifespan of about 91 earth years.
\nIn order to allow for adult characters who have grown up in the Fleet and to eliminate much of the confusion concerning Colonial Time I have amended the time units as listed below. Basically I will be treating Colonial time units as just different names for Earth time units. This allows a character who is 25 yahrens old to be about 25 in Earth years. It fits with the objectives set up by the original Moderator and should make things easier in the future. I will leave the original time units posted in a seperate file for those who may be interested.<\/p>\n

\nCentons, microns, and sectars are also used as units of
