====How to determine the Year Fraction on Terra====
 
−
Rather than dividing the year into approximately 365 days like we do, the Imperium divides the year into 1000 fractions. So, "549" indicates the 549th part of 1000 parts of the year.{{Fn|1}}

−
To calculate this, first you need to find on which day of the year your event occurred. Using July 18th of 2005 as an example, you then determine the Julian date, which is the 200th day of 2005. Next we need to split it into hours. We do that by multiplying 200 by 24 then add the hour of the day the event occurred. If the event took place at 4pm (the 16th hour) the formula to find the Determined Hour would be:{{Fn|1}}
 
−
<br> 200 x 24 + 16 = 4816 Determined Hour{{Fn|1}}
 
−
 
−
To convert that to an Imperial Fraction, multiply your Determined Hour above by the Makr Constant: 0.11407955.
 
−
<br> 4816 x 0.11407955 = 549.41. Always round this number down to determine the closest Year Fraction that occurred before the event. So the Year Fraction would be 549.{{Fn|1}}

wow speaking of which, this could easily be misunderstood :D the title..

Oh well, that's strange ^^ ;)--Inquisitor S. 11:23, 24 Jun 2005 (CEST)

Imperial year article

Imperial year should be turned into a redirect to this article. I don't think it offers a "more user-friendly" description and it is unsourced. --Digganob 12:29, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Definitely. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 15:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Year Fraction Calculation

If i'm not mistaken, the given calculation is incorrect. You'd have to use the previous date, multiplay that with 24 and then add the current hour, else you get 24 hours too much. Example: 2nd of January, 12:00; 2 x 24 + 12 = 60 BUT actually only 36 hours have passed. 1 x 24 + 12 = 36

Also this would prevent getting a number greater than 999 after multiplying with 0,11407955 Example: 31st of December, 23:00; 365 x 24 + 23 = 8783, 8783 x 0,11407955 = 1001. 364 x 24 + 23 = 8759, 8759 x 0,11407955 = 999

The makr constant also does not account for leap years in the Gregorian system. 0.11376786 needs to be used instead on a leap year, or else December 31 gives out 1001 User:37thHarakoni (talk) 23:02, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Year 0 Problem

I just had a discussion about the inconsistent/ambiguous use of the year 000.Mx. Is it the first or the last year of Mx? This wiki seems to use the 000-999 scale (where 000 is the first year), while the Fandom wiki instead uses the 001-000 scale (where 000 is the last year). Canon sources seem to vary in that question as well: 3rd Edition rulebook goes 000-999, while 5th Edition goes 001-000. Not sure what is currently standard. --Sinthorion (talk) 10:07, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

The most recent source I can find is Jaghatai Khan: Warhawk of Chogoris (Novel) - it gives 000.M31 as the year of the Ullanor Crusade, which would put it at the start of the millennium. KazilDarkeye (talk) 21:55, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
