All Things Alien Falling right around First Contact Day, which commemorates Humanity’s initial interaction with the Banu, Alien Week is an annual celebration where the Star Citizen community embraces all that is alien in our expansive, wondrous galaxy.
Alongside alien-made ships and meticulous Human recreations, we’re exploring the language, culture, and history of the Banu, Tevarin, Xi’an, and Vanduul species.
Plus, we have new alien-ship paints, very special episodes of Inside Star Citizen and Star Citizen Live, a community contest, in-person meet-ups, and more!
