The Pavhaki wiki makes heavy use of its own system of time which must be understood in order to make sense of the history in this wiki. The core principles are as follows:
All time-based measurements in the Pavhaki wiki should adhere to the following standards, so that the writing in this wiki is coherent and easy to understand.
 
===Years===
* A '''biennial''' is 2 Pavalan years, which are 0.51 ''Earth years'' each. A biennial is thus equivalent to 1.02 ''Earth years''.
* There are 168 local days per local year, and 336 local days in every biennial.


===Months===
{| class="wikitable"
* Months are generally understood to mean periods of 30 days unless specified.
