The Galactic Standard Calendar is based on the luno-solar calendar of Coruscant (from before the official founding of the Empire). It is the ‘standard’ in both the Republic and the Empire for basic measurements. However, there are many, many variations for various species, planets, etc. This is just the ‘standard’ used; similar to measurements of weight, etc.
Basically, this is not the ‘only calendar’ but the one used most often by governments, the military, etc. to be the ‘standard’. I thought it might be useful for people writing or roleplaying in the Star Wars galaxies to have a rough idea.
NOTE: There is mention in some sources of a 12 month/368 day calendar, but it doesn’t mention length of weeks, months, etc. other than ‘30-31 days’ so basically seems to be a ‘real life calendar’. I’m not 100% sure which is considered ‘canon’ so I choose to list the one that was a bit more ‘different’ for fun.

*Holds up like a proud parent,* -This is my boy,, this one is mine-,, you may have seen him running around over here,, don’t mind him- he’s on break <33
His name is Zephyr ✨- [and this is the most solid reference I’ve got of him,, see inconsistent references below <33]
And now??? Introducing a passionate rant about the big brother esc goofball no one has seen yet
[passionate rant below cut]
Essentially, what I’ve got going so far is Zephyr used to be a renowned competitive racer before the war back on Cybertron, he lived for the tracks and often received citations for speed racing through civilian streets. That was until his street friend caught wind of a race academy located somewhere near Iacon where they could both learn how to compete professionally
They both entered and on their first official race someone ended up wiping out, bad, so Zeph dropped back to help em out and they gained a third friend that day
As a young upstart Zephyr began gaining some crazy popularity, blissfully [intentionally??] ignorant of the state of the government. [kinda the same mentality as the phrase, “If I can’t see it? Then it doesn’t exist ✨”]. That is, until one day he wiped out on the track, even worse than was considered possible at the time, and he got sent into a coma before the war officially started.
During his time in stasis, Zeph’s friends had a huge argument about the morality of the war and ended up choosing different sides of the fight before they could reconcile. Only one of them openly appeared to hold onto the hope that Zephyr was going to recover [though they both secretly visited after their fight anyways] His first friend later decided that the hospital, the stasis that would never end, the loss of both his friends, was too much for him and he effectively ejected Zephyr from the hospital as an act of mercy, so fate might deal with him as it pleased.
Zephyr woke up from stasis years later after the pod he was being housed in got blown up and some dormant fear based adrenaline kicked in.
What began as a blissfully ignorant coping skill, after running into some friendly [neutral] wanderers, Zeph continued his race training,, determined to compete the second the war essentially “fixed itself” [even tho his engines haven’t been running quite right ever since his wake from stasis] but over time, he trained less and less as the inpermanence of his dream began to set in
He had some misadventures and those lead me to where he is now,, stuck in a war, no idea what’s going on, trying to find his two original friends, both of whom he doesn’t know hate each other 😌🫶
[and once he does- he founds a secret faction, dedicated to drawing neutral territory between bots and cons after he got his friends back together/ and everything was good for a bit until one very bad day, his faction got exposed and practically everyone he had instilled hope into got ripped to shreds- [including one of his friends[they died]]]
He wanders around kinda aimlessly nowadays as a husk of who he once wanted to be. His only friend rejoined the Autobots. -And he gave up any hope for peace ever :D👍
… until-
Nice
Inspired by festivals like All Points East and Ultra Japan/Korea and of course, DJ Xilonen.
I made a little thing today.
Haven’t shown wildrider some love in a while
These are my personal headcanons for the names of the protagonists and some of the rivals of the Pokémon games.
Kanto:
Red Akiyama
Blue Oak/Green Oak (canon)
Leaf Aoki
Johto:
Ethan Hibiki
Lyra Koto
Kristine "Kris" Mariner
Silver Rosso
Hoenn:
May Hayashi
Brendan Birch (I HC him as the rival character, meaning he's the professor's kid.)
Wally Tsuru
Sinnoh:
Dawn Yugata
Lucas Kagayaki
Barry Palmer (I HC that his dad Palmer goes by his last name.)
Unova:
Hilda and Hilbert Grayson
Cheren Kuroki-Petrov
Bianca Caro
Rosalind (Rosa) Whittaker
Nathanial "Nate" Blake
Kalos
Serena Fontaine
Calem Belmont
Alola
Elio Taiyo
Selene Yoru
Notes (mostly based on headcanons):
I HC Hilda and Hilbert to be twins, so they have the same surname.
Cheren is part Sinnohan (so the Pokemon world's equivalent of part-Japanese) and part "whatever the Pokemon equivalent of Bulgarian is."
Ethan and Lyra's surnames in my headcanons come from their canon names in Japanese (Hibiki and Kotone.)
Elio and Selene are originally from the Kanto region before moving to Alola. Their surnames mean "sun" and "night" respectively.
Nate's surname comes from the English name of his manga counterpart.

He is bit tougher to figure out for me. Grit and willingness act to are what he inadvertently teaches Elvira. Zenith has Mad Eye Moody’s mindset of constant vigilance.
This trait in particular is necessary for Elvira to learn from because of her penchant for being a being distant. To play the roles of diplomat, consular, duelist, and Barsen’thor she has be alert! Through Zenith she sees what it looks like actually do it.
What Elvira desperately want to provide Zenith with is a more developed vision. She wants to show Zenith what peace is. Because Zenith literally has no conceptualization of what peace even is. She would love for Zenith to reach a point where he see a future that involves more than fighting the empire and standing up for Belmorra. Elvira does want forcibly change him being a fighter but does what him to fighter and… whatever he chooses to be like his potential interest in politics.
You know writing this out allowed me to see why I was struggling to figure out Zenith dynamics. I was trying feel out how he’d interact with other crew member domestically and I realized Zenith doesn’t know how to be domestic! Cause of his upbringing. I guess the dynamic would be being awkward as he learns how live outside of being a soldier.
- Tharan will sometimes take the crew out to experience ‘culture’ ie eating at fancy places or going to the museum. Felix is the most receptive to it.
- Zenith puts up with Nadia taging along, and actually is gruff uncle type to her.
- when the consular goes on diplomacy mission Zenith and Nadia are the ones actually interested in politics. Tharan and Felix pay attention but are more there for the good food.
- Felix and Qyzen share a favorite swoop team the Pit Screamers.
-For Felix it’s because the team’s daring stunts appeal to the part of him that wants to be a hero. Qyzen just likes how the Pit Screamers overcome danger and totally not because their team captain is also trandoshan.
- Tharan and Holiday like the Blatant Beks because spectacle.
- Qyzen respects Zenith, and Felix as capable warriors, and Nadia the Heralds student. Tharan is tolerated because his importance as the caretaker of the Herald’s ship and special understanding old metal things.
- Nadia has surprisingly found Qyzen to be helpful teacher about force things because of his deep spirituality.
- Holiday is the second person (first is consular) Nadia goes to when she needs somebody to talk to.
- Tharan is the one who teaches Zenith to dance as well as the other formalities that one needs to know for the social gathering that enviably await the politically involved. Zenith hates it.
- Felix and Nadia are probably the most interactive with Holiday, talking to her likes real. Zenith sees her something like tool. Qyzen doesn’t really know what make of her, he does take her for granted, the way you take the floor for granted for just existing.
- Tharan favorite people to take places besides Holiday are the consular, Nadia, and Felix.
- Felix a pretty good friendship with all the other members of the crew.
