  From the source:

---------------------<snip!>---------------------
// TOS- SD 0 = January 6, 2266
// 1 SDU = 18000 s (4.8 SDU = 1 day)
TOS = Date.UTC(2266, 0, 6, 0, 0, 0);

// Star Trek I intermediate - SD 7320 = March 11, 2270

STI =  Date.UTC(2270, 2, 11, 0, 0, 0);

  Blimey.  I know there's relativity to take into account and all that, but
even so, the stardate seems to be a fairly elasticy concept of time.  Anyone
who didn't know it was all real might think they had just been making up
numbers at the start of each episode with little regard for internal
consistency!
