Union Standard Day

Union Standard Day

The Union Standard Day is different from the Old Terran Time Day as it is seperated in Standard Day and Standard Night (10 hrs each).Or First and second half. Common Convention has shown that almost all sentient species (developed on a planet) prefer some division between active and inactive periods (Day and night) However the Standard Time Keeping has not prevailed and most of the Union actually keeps OTT (based on GMT) The three founding species were humanoid ( Saran, Pan Saran and Terran) [1] and their biological clock conforms best with the 24 hr rythm established on Earth. Several time reforms were tried and the Union Standard Time Reform was pushed for a Assembly vote by the Thaurans and approved with 51 % but with very little actual interest of the general public. (Not even the Thauran public was very interested as they too preferred the 24 hr rythm)[2] The UST (Union Standard Time) is used at the Assembly and is also printed / mentioned on official documents but not really observed by the general public.

[1] And all three developed form the same species and same planet (Human Mystery solved in 5050) [2] The new 10 hr / 10 hr day rythm with the 100 minute hour was a pet peveee of the Thauran Emperor of that period.
