Note that although the D'ni calendar system includes a 0 DE, D'ni centuries start at 1. Each century is 625 years long, because of the D'ni's base-25 number system. Thus, the first century is 0 - 624 DE, the second century is 625 - 1224 DE, and so on. | Decade pages '''must''' have the {{tlx|Hahrtee fahrah}} template at the top of the page.
