The Coruscant reckoning calendar, often shortened to C.R.C., represented a temporal measurement system employed across the galaxy. The start of its count was set such that the Galactic Empire's issuance of an arrest warrant for Princess Leia Organa after discovering her alliance with the opposing Alliance to Restore the Republic was recorded as 7977.331.3. This event was also designated as the year 0 BBY within another calendar's framework. In practice, within a millennium, a date could be abbreviated using only the final three digits of the initial number, preceded by an apostrophe (for example, '945 instead of 7945). Furthermore, within a century, a date could be shown using the last two digits; Exantor Divo, for example, documented his graduation from the Hosnian Prime Academy of Law Enforcement as part of the "Class of '96 (Hosnian Reckoning)."

The C.R.C. dating system was initially introduced in Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, a 2018 reference book authored by Pablo Hidalgo. This calendar places the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope in the C.R.C. year 7977; coincidentally, the film was released in 1977. The calendar made its debut in "Rix Road," the concluding episode of the first season of the television show Andor. Maarva Andor's passing, which occurred off-screen, was assigned the date 7972.216.4, aligning with the season's setting in 5 BBY. The Andor series incorporated the C.R.C. calendar for several reasons, notably because its characters would not yet be aware of the impending Battle of Yavin.
Hidalgo shared on his Hive Social account that the name "Coruscant Reckoning Calendar" drew inspiration from the "Shire Reckoning" found within Lord of the Rings lore. He also mentioned that the calendar's development was partly influenced by the Commerce Treaty of 1647, which is referenced in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Sphere of Influence." He further explained that in Scum and Villainy, the decimal portions of the dates were largely based on subjective "vibes" rather than specific references, while the dating in Andor was more carefully crafted to suggest specific days and times within the year. Hidalgo also clarified that the C.R.C. calendar and the 'ABY-BBY' dating system are not directly equivalent, accounting for any perceived discrepancies between them.
