The "year zero" is the year of the signing of the Babylon Treaties and marks a new era in galactic history of centralized diplomacy & increased commerce as leaders from multiple star nations to formalize diplomatic relations & agreements on warfare. Most notable was that this event took place right after the the peace agreements of the War of Terran Appraisal. Thus a new era of standardization commenced.

OOC Note

This dating system was implemented as to not favour any one calendar system over the other IRP. Thus the usage of a calendar system based on a historic event in the canon was implemented to create the dating system.
