A major factor was the Star Army's adoption of the decimal format as standard, which quickly spread to other parts of Yamatai and the [[places:kikyo_sector|Kikyo Sector]].

 Yamataian calendar dates were traditionally written by Yamataians in the format: 25日  8月 YE 39 (DD M YY). It is also fine to substitute M for 月 and D for 日.

 It's taken us forever to detail the in-character months but I've done it, finally. I had to go with 9 months because it was the only way to divide 315 days (the canonical year of planet Yamatai) into "normal" size months and get whole numbers. Interestingly, this means if you've been using Earth years for your character's age instead of Yamataian years, your character may be younger than you thought they were! If you have a problem with that, feel free to resubmit the character with the "corrected" age. It's taken us forever to detail the in-character months but I've done it, finally.
