I consuled the Star Trek Concordance on stardates.  It states that Stardates
are a measure of time according to the big E's position and velocity in  the
galaxy.  It is represented by five digits, four digits for the stardate  and
the fifth date corresponds to the hour.  However, the increment from  xxxx.x
to xxxx.y may be longer or shorter than 24 hours.  The actual  time  depends
on the velocity of the big E.
