A short foresight into Star Citizen calendar events!


ICYMI Sale 2956

In the wake of a refreshing and realigning new take on the Star Citizen dream, 2025 unleashed a barrage of new developments and content, indicative of their newfound confidence in their developers, programmers, and artists having had plenty of time on the drawing board to put some experience under their belts. With the release of a record-breaking amount of ships to be poured into the Verse last year, the annual ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) Sale prepares to give citizens a chance to pick up a ship that they may have missed buying.

Red Festival (Lunar New Year)

Red Festival is a beloved celebration observed throughout the UEE and Banu Protectorate. To mark the beginning of a new lunisolar year, participants wear traditionally lucky colors, such as red and gold, share stories to honor friends and family, and eat long foods like dyed red noodles or calossk tentacles – an acquired taste!

Perhaps the most cherished activity involves hiding gilded red envelopes throughout the ‘verse for those fated to find them. It’s also said that beginning a long journey on the last day of Red Festival will bring luck to the voyage and has become common practice amongst those hoping for prosperity and discovery.
