Javelin tour and fleet flyby

- StarCitizen:August Dunlow Spaceport - StarCitizen:Orison
- StarCitizen:Port Tressler - microTech

They will be flying through at these space stations:
Commemorative items
At the event, you were able to purchase manufacturer-specific StarCitizen:clothing, as well as several Invictus branded items, and paints from the StarCitizen:Pledge store.<ref>Template:Cite game</ref>
From in-game:
- StarCitizen:Invictus Flyby Shirt Blue
- StarCitizen:Invictus Hat Blue
- StarCitizen:Invictus Flight Jacket
From pledge store:

- This paint was only obtainable in the pledge store by buying a "C8X Pisces Invictus Starter Pack", a game package, for US$45. It is unclear how else this paint was obtained. But players reported it being in their in-game inventory without buying it, supposedly because the ship was also on a free loan for everyone to be used in the StarCitizen:Dunlow Derby for the duration of the event. There is no official confirmation about this theory.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
Reception
Patch StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 3.17.1 was published to the LIVE branch the day before the event was starting, on May 19. The event then started on the 20th with a few problems, such as not being able to login, getting long login queues before being able to play, character reset queues, ships duplicating or in-game social services being down. StarCitizen:CIG developers were quick to respond, fixing the worst issues, but a "degraded performance" warning was still active on the status page.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> Throughout the week, there were still occasional issues, most notably social services often being down. This kept players from seeing or using their friends list, unable to make parties, and the in-game global chat channel would also be unavailable.
