Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2952

The Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2952 is a 13-day ship exposition event held at Tobin Expo Center in New Babbage. The expo is an annual event that brings ships of all different manufacturers together to be displayed at several expo halls. As in previous years, the event was coupled with a free-fly event, allowing players without a Game Package to play the game for free, and also offering free rentals of ships on display to all players.

Ship showdown
The event succeeds the annual Ship Showdown. During the showdown, backers were able to vote on their favorite ship in each round during the month of September. The winning ships of this year were the Carrack, followed by the Mercury Star Runner, C8X Pisces, Scorpius. These ships will be highlighted at the expo on the 10th day.

Showcase schedule
Starting on November 18, each day a different ship manufacturer took over one of the expo halls for 48 hours. Switches occurred at 1600 UTC daily. Each manufacturer displayed their ships at the expo halls at the New Babbage Tobin Expo Center on the planet microTech for overlapping 48-hour blocks.

Whitley's Guide
The event will be covered with Whitley's Guide episodes, with exclusive looks and interviews. However, at the teaser trailer, there was a scene that showed an "In Memoriam: Jax McCleary" frame, which would indicate the original host of the series is presumed lost or deceased. However, no confirmation about this has been made.
