[@Juicy] It is a WIP, but so far I've learned nothing lol. On a slightly different note, civilization tends to quantify things such as age and time. And that does not necessarily need to be by a planet's cycle. There is bound to be a method by which an "age" can be derived. For instance you mentioned that Zor is female on a leap year. While not a well defined time frame that would be something rather specific to the species biological clock and could be used to define something like age. While not in something like Earth years, it would be a way to define how long an individual has been alive. Not that there needs to be per se. Some cultures you simply exist. But I would think that one that is space faring has to have a solid understanding of mathematics and the passage of time in order to travel anywhere. It's also likely that the space community at large has developed a more universal method of telling time. Since each culture would probably be using many methods that are difficult to convert between one another. Such collaboration would be of benefit to trade, negotiation, and many other interactions. I feel like I'm thinking about this too hard.
