GETTING TO INVICTUS LAUNCH WEEKThis year’s celebration is held at the Bevic Convention Center in the city of Area18, ArcCorp. Different vehicle manufacturers take over the expo halls throughout the event, and nearly everything on display is available to fly or drive for free.
If you are first logging in, set your spawn to Area18. Otherwise, quantum travel from your current location to Area18 on ArcCorp and land at Riker Memorial Spaceport.
Once out of your hab on Area18 (or if you quantum traveled and have now landed at Riker Memorial Spaceport), follow the plethora of blue Invictus-branded signs leading you to the shuttle stop.
Hop on the shuttle and it will take you to the Bevic Convention Center, where Invictus Launch Week awaits!
HOW TO GET TO INVICTUS LAUNCH WEEK CELEBRATIONTHE PROUD HISTORY OF INVICTUS LAUNCH WEEKInvictus marks the beginning of the new year for UEE Navy recruits and celebrates graduation of the latest crew members and officers. The event's origins date back to 2541 and the First Tevarin War, when the United Planets of Earth (the UEE’s predecessor) would send transport ships to collect new recruits for basic training. The locals would gather to celebrate those leaving to defend Humanity and marvel at the impressive military ships docked at port.
Today, Invictus Launch Week is celebrated in most UEE systems with high-flying public demonstrations from the Naval fleet. As an added attraction, the galaxy's top shipbuilders showcase the vehicles they supply to the military and make their civilian counterparts available to rent and purchase.
