       You can either choose to present it in stardate format
       (123456.1) or in standard date format. Most people tend to write
       it as a standard date but you can calculate the stardate by

       Q. Can I use an image of a main character from a Star Trek
       series?
       For reasons of fairness and realism, we do not allow players to
       use images of main characters from the Star Trek series. You
       can, however, find lots of great images to use at STAvatars.com
       or elsewhere on the internet.
