I think I know why, and I like it!
The game starts in 3025 (Career mode and first real Campaign mission).
Twelve hundred days is a little over three years later, 3028. The most important date in 3028 is August 20--the Davion-Steiner Wedding, and the start of The Fourth Succession War.
3028 is a leap year (see wikipedia entry on determining leap years).
1200 - 233 (August 20 is the 233rd day of a leap year) - 365 (3027) - 365 (3026) = 237.
365 - 237 is 128.
The 128th day of a common year is May 8.
The game starts on May 8, 3025, and the career scoring ends 1200 days later, on August 20, 3028--at the start of The Fourth Succession War.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
