We hope you enjoy our accessible summary of: comm-link from 2 years ago

Luminalia, the beloved annual holiday celebrated by both Banu and Humans, has once again brought joy and light to the far reaches of the galaxy. This year's festivities, marking Luminalia 2952, saw citizens across the United Empire of Earth (UEE) and beyond coming together to exchange gifts, hunt for presents, and bask in the warm glow of festive lights.

Origins of Luminalia

Luminalia traces its roots back to the Banu festival of 'tsikti efanga', or Glow Festival. This irregular celebration was marked by the lighting of ceremonial lamps that burned until their fuel was depleted. During this time, all Banu, regardless of location, were considered part of one Souli - a unified group sharing a common purpose.

Today, Luminalia has evolved into a cross-cultural celebration, embracing both Banu traditions and Human customs. The holiday, officially observed on December 22nd, has become a time for gift-giving, festive gatherings, and strengthening bonds between family, friends, and even business associates.

Luminalia 2952 Highlights

Advent Calendar Gifts

This year's Luminalia celebrations kicked off with a special 12-day advent calendar. Starting from December 11th, citizens were able to claim a daily gift, with all items being usable in-game for the first time. This gesture of goodwill from various manufacturers and organizations across the 'verse brought excitement and anticipation to the lead-up to Luminalia.

The Spirit of Giving

True to the holiday's essence, Luminalia 2952 saw an outpouring of generosity throughout the star systems. Traders and haulers took on special missions to deliver bow-adorned packages to various locations, spreading cheer and earning rewards in the process. Citizens were encouraged to seek out hidden gift boxes at landing zones and in loot containers across Stanton, which could be sold at trading kiosks or delivered to grateful recipients around the system.

Festive Decorations

Landing zones and space stations alike were adorned with glowing lights and festive decorations, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for all who passed through. The sight of twinkling lights against the backdrop of space served as a reminder of the unity and shared experiences that bind humanity and alien races alike in this vast universe.

Screenshot Contest

Capturing the magic of Luminalia became a creative endeavor for many, with a screenshot contest inviting citizens to document their jubilant journeys and festive experiences. Participants shared stunning visuals of gift deliveries, decorated locations, and heartwarming moments of celebration, competing for special luminous prizes.

Luminalia Referral Program

In the spirit of bringing more people into the Star Citizen community, a special Luminalia referral program was implemented. Those who referred a friend to join the universe of Star Citizen during the holiday season were rewarded with an Argo MPUV, a versatile cargo hauler that embodies the giving nature of Luminalia.

Looking Ahead

As the lights of Luminalia 2952 fade and citizens return to their regular routines, the warmth and unity fostered during this special time continue to resonate throughout the galaxy. The celebration serves as a reminder of the bonds that tie communities together, transcending species and star systems.

Whether you spent your Luminalia delivering gifts, hunting for presents, or simply enjoying the company of loved ones, the spirit of the holiday remains a beacon of hope and togetherness in the vast expanse of space. As we look forward to future celebrations, may the light of Luminalia continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who call the stars their home.

The Luminous Referral: A 30K.fun Luminalia Tale

As the twinkling lights of Luminalia 2952 adorned the stations and outposts across Stanton, the members of the 30K.fun Star Citizen Referral Club gathered for their annual celebration. Captain Zara, known for her unwavering optimism in the face of server crashes, had a brilliant idea to spread the joy of the season.

"Let's organize a Luminalia gift hunt!" she exclaimed. "We'll hide presents all over Stanton and give clues to new players about what code to use to join our merry band of explorers!"

The crew enthusiastically agreed, and soon, packages wrapped in glowing paper were scattered across planets and space stations. Each gift contained not only in-game goodies but also information about the RSI Referral Code Club and how new players could benefit from joining.

As word spread, curious newcomers began their search, guided by cryptic messages left by the 30K.fun team. One player, a rookie pilot named Alex, found himself on Microtech, following a trail of luminous breadcrumbs.

"I've heard whispers about The Star Citizen Referral Code Club," Alex mused as he trudged through the snow. "I wonder if this hunt will lead me to them?"

Just then, his Mobiglas pinged with a new message: "Look to the aurora-lit sky, where bugs become features and crashes turn to laughter. The Referral Code Club awaits!"

Excited, Alex scanned the horizon and spotted a shimmering package perched atop a frozen ridge. As he opened it, he found not only a rare ship skin but also an invitation to join the 30K.fun organization.

Back at the club's makeshift Luminalia headquarters, Captain Zara and her crew watched with glee as more and more new players discovered the joy of their community. They shared stories of overcoming glitches, exploring uncharted territories, and finding friendship amidst the vast expanse of the 'verse.

As the Luminalia lights flickered around them, the 30K.fun members raised a toast to new beginnings, unexpected adventures, and the unbreakable spirit of fun that bound them together – no matter how many server disconnects tried to tear them apart.
