In Star Citizen lore, the Foundation Festival is an annual civic program that takes place throughout July. It was proposed in 2861 by Imperator Gayatri Deomana with the goal to strengthen community participation by encouraging Citizens and civilians to volunteer with local and imperial organizations.[1] Independent charitable organizations often reach volunteer capacity during the holiday, so the UEE government offers short-term volunteer opportunities such as mentorship programs and cleanup events. Civilians can submit repeated Foundation Festival volunteer work as one of many qualifications to receive Citizenship.[2]
For players, it is often coupled with perks, promotions and a Free-fly. Cloud Imperium have used this event to promote their Guide System. In this, existing players can enlist themselves as guides in different subjects. New players can then request help from these guides. Using this system during this festival will reward both players.
