Time

Time was a measurable part of the structure of the universe, in which the galaxy existed, where events occurred in a sequence. Time was measured with different concepts, such as millennia, centuries, and years. Time could be broken down even further into months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, though these divisions were used almost exclusively to refer to the duration of events, rather than the date or time on which they took place. Chronometers were used to track and indicate time through such units of measurement.
Time travel was a mostly hypothetical method of travel through time. When traveling through hyperspace, the passage of time sped up, and Stasis fields were used to slow down time to match the rest of the galaxy.Star Wars Complete Vehicles, New Edition Time flowed differently in the Veil than in normal space.The High Republic: Path of Vengeance
==Time keeping==
===Overview===
The last great conflict between the Jedi Order and the Sith resulted in a definitive Republic victory. Resetting its capital on Coruscant, history reset its chrono on this date from which the modern Galactic Republic was born. The time before this rebirth was forgotten as a dark age, lumped into a collective whole known as the "Old Republic." As a result of this change, official calendars reset their zero year onto this date.Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy The galaxy used this standardized dating system based off of the galactic capital Coruscant: the galactic standard calendar. On Coruscant, a year was made up of 365 days of 24 hours each,Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know with no leap years.
During its reign, the Galactic Empire reset the dating system and utilized its own calendar.Star Wars: The Rebel Files Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Ithorian artist Gammit Chond used a calendar system that used the battle as the zero year from which to date galactic history. Dates before the Battle of Yavin were marked "BBY" and dates after the Battle of Yavin were marked "ABY."Star Wars: Galactic Atlas Galactic Standard Time was a system of timekeeping used by the First Order. Lothal also maintained its own calendar.
===Units of time===
The most commonly used measurements of time in the Galaxy were the day and the year, both based on the orbital characteristics of Coruscant. The day was based on its rotational period, and the year was based on its orbital period which, due to a convenient coincidence, was exactly 365 times its rotational period. The day was subdivided into 24 hours.Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, Updated and Expanded A minute was 60 seconds.Star Wars (2020) 18
===Ancient time keeping methods===
Long before the modern Galactic Republic, the Domancion Accord was used as the zero year for an ancient dating system.Doctor Aphra (2016) 6
The C.R.C. was another dating system that set its epoch 7977 years before the Galactic Empire issued an arrest warrant for Princess Leia Organa after discovering she worked with the Alliance to Restore the Republic.Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious
