Due to limited scientific infrastructure when colonists first arrived in The Sovereignty, they did not have the ability to create or maintain atomic clocks to keep time. Instead, they repurposed sensors on the colony ship to measure pulsars of electromagnetic radiation emitting from a nearby neutron star. The neutron star, hereby referred to as a Pulsar, was a stable, slow Pulsar - spinning about once per atomic second. (0.9 Solar seconds, to be precise) This enabled colonists to utilize a base 10 measure of time, listed below.

Most people worked 30,000p - 50,000p per cycle, with highly skilled / in demand workers on the lower end, and manual laborers on the higher end. In a similar ratio, people had between 5 and 9 work shifts per set.
