Actually, I think the difference was 4521 in Imperial Year 0, but note that
since the Imperial calendar doesn't intercalate, and the Solomani calendar
does (it's the Gregorian calendar), they get a little farther out of sync
every four years - or, more accurately, 97 days every 400 years. So, NE1
(Third Imperium Year 1200) would have a difference of 4521 years and just
short of 10 months - so calling it 4522 wouldn't be too intolerably
inaccurate.

(That's the numbers I used, at any rate, when I wrote
http://www.freelancetraveller.com/features/culture/reference/calend.html -
where I got that correspondence, I don't actually recall, and didn't
include in the article).
