Is your software supporting Galactic Standard Time?

So I was replaying Star Wars: The Force Awakens the other day and in one scene I thought I heard “Galactic Standard Time”. Had to rewind and no kidding, the PA announcer is prompting “All sentry droids, resynchronize to Galactic Standard Time, offset 473.” I’ve been researching issues related to Global Timezones and Daylight Saving Time this past year, so much so I guess that this rang an unconscious bell. Snagged the clip for your viewing pleasure. I’m pretty sure anyone into Software Internationalization (I18) and Star Wars will appreciate this one.

Can’t find much official information about Galactic Standard Time but it’s obviously used by the First Order on Starkiller Base

Wookiepedia has some articles about Time though:

Would be interesting to continue researching dates and times within the Star Wars universe.
