There would have to be some sort of 'agreed upon' means of dating to avoid confusion (eg in the Solar System Mercury's year is 88 Earth days, Pluto's 240 Earth Years) - but what about galactic positioning - there would have to be some agreed upon zero 'longitude'. Perhaps one of the functions of Star One was to be the equivalent of 'Greenich Zero' - especially as it handled a certain amount of Galactic communications.
Since nobody knew where it was, one could hardly use its location as a positioning aid...
