October

October 

Tenth month of the year in Old Terran Time (OTT).

The Time Keeping Reform of 5050 found it practical to keep the year divided into months. It was however decided to abandon the Pre Astro Earth names for month as they had no meaning to Non Terran societies.

All the old month names were abandoned and the word Andiv was adopted by everyone (except for the Union Marine Corps that still calls the 10th month October.
