'''Luminalia''' is a holiday celebrated by both [[StarCitizen:Banu]] and [[StarCitizen:Human]]s annually on [[StarCitizen:December 22]]. It originated as the irregularly-held Banu festival ''tsikti efanga'' {{SClang|ochoa=tsikti efanga|srb=tsikti efanga|srb-meaning=Glow Festival}}, marked by the lighting of ceremonial lamps that stay lit until their fuel is consumed (about 34,000 beats / 2 Standard Earth Days). While the lamps are burning, all Banu, no matter where they are, are considered one [[StarCitizen:Souli]]. They invite friends, business associates, and passing strangers into their Soulis and give them [[StarCitizen:Luminalia gift|gifts]] so they will always have something to sell. All attendees are expected to provide food, drinks, and/or party favors in return, and if they can’t, the host will often have those items available for sale.

Humans in the [[StarCitizen:Davien system]] began to participate in the festival with Banu shortly after the [[StarCitizen:Banu-Human Interstellar Peace and Trade Accord]] in [[StarCitizen:2438]], when a ship repair Souli on [[StarCitizen:Cestulus]] lit their lamps and invited Humans to come and celebrate with them. It spread from system to system as Humans in commercial workshops or trading ships used the festival to boost sales. Private events for family, friends, and extended families inspired by these profitable galas became common enough that the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth|United Empire of Earth (UEE)]] officially recognized Luminalia as a holiday in [[StarCitizen:2557]]. Banu began to light their lamps alongside Humans as a symbol of friendship and a way to enjoy an increase in business. As the holiday grew in popularity, Human merchants modified the traditional gift sharing by hiding empty gift-wrapped packages that could be returned unopened in exchange for a surprise like a few credits or a small toy. The increased foot traffic into their stores increased holiday sales and became a tradition in its own right. Today, Banu and Humans commemorate Luminalia with gift-exchanges, present hunts, glowing lights, gatherings of family, friends, business associates, and acquaintances, food and drink, limited-time discounts, and decorations in green and red.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0KxWxZwaBD-luminalia|text=Galactapedia: Luminalia|accessdate=2020-11-5}}</ref>

==Gift box==
These boxes are scattered across different locations around the 'verse during the holiday event and can be sold at trading terminals. Initially priced at 1000 aUEC per box, some members of the community expressed their belief that the value was excessive considering players just simply collected them. Consequently, CIG decided to reduce the value to 500 aUEC per box.

==Commemorative items==
Luminalia clearly has similarities with real life Christmas, and in the community, this typically means that [[StarCitizen:CIG]] will start the event with a countdown calendar to similar to "Twelve days of Christmas" and advents calendars. The Days of Gifts count down to [[StarCitizen:December 22|December the 22nd]], [[StarCitizen:Backer]]s who visit the comm-link page daily will be able to claim a different gift on each day.

===List of previous festivals===
The event usually starts on December 10/11/12 and ends on December 22, with each new day beginning at 1600 UTC.
