## By Festivals

### Remembrance Day

>
> *Today, throughout human space, is Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the beginning of the Alpha Wars more than five centuries ago. The Alphas were genetically engineered soldiers, with superhuman agility and intelligence, and a complete lack of compassion or empathy. At the height of the War, dozens of planets had been enslaved by the Alphas.*
>
>
>
> Remembrance Day commemorates the beginning of the war, rather than its end, as a perpetual reminder that the war is not over: although the Alphas were defeated, some of them escaped and remained in hiding, and they and their offspring are presumed to still be present in the galaxy today.

"Remembrance Day celebration" missions starts from 60 days before Feb 19th,
and "Return from Remembrance Day" missions ends at 60 days after Feb 19th,

Contrary to what players may think, Remembrance Day celebration missions only happens within The Dirt Belt.

### Earth Day

>
> *There's always a big celebration on Earth every April 22nd, Earth Day, so pay attention to the job board in the months leading up to that. The people down in the Rim have some month-long celebration every August that you should look out for too.*
