Year Zero: The base year of the Imperial
calendar and the founding year of the Third
Imperium. By selecting a base year numbered zero (instead of the generally
selected year 1), the Imperial dating
system became a standard number line extending forwards and backwards
in time.
Years before the founding of the Imperium become simple
negative numbers, and the differences between dates before and after the
founding of the Imperium could be determined by subtraction. -ld
