Earth and Proxima have remained tightly connected for millennia, not solely due to the convenience of the two-way stargates but also because of the unbreakable sentiments that bind the people across these stargates.
—Yusuf, Space Navigation Era Historian
Beginning with the journey of Gilma's fleet across four light-years, returning the achievements of the Proxima exploration back to Earth, to the construction of the L001A and L001B Large Two-Way Stargates, the "Earth-Centauri Twinning" have become a closely connected economic entity, setting the stage for the Twin Festival as a major holiday.
Gilma, the Explorer who accomplished such heroic achievement, her daily, Gilma's Diary, has always been regarded as a classic masterpiece, valued by historians and beloved by the general public. Unfortunately, as years have rolled by, much of the original diary and its audio recordings are lost in the long passage of time. During this year's Twin Festival, the City of Antontas will host the "Twin Fairy Tale" Large Cultural Exhibition, showcasing the "Encounters in Solar System" section of "Gilma's Diary" to the public, in recognizing the great achievement of Gilma's fleet and the hardships of space exploration.
During the Twin Festival, the tradition of Explorers reaching out to their friends and families to exchange gifts with each other has been going on for thousands of years. At the "Twin Fairy Tale" Large Cultural Exhibition, the Earth – Proxima Communication Channel will be reopened again, allowing Explorers to exchange gifts and send blessings.

During the Twin Festival, the Explorer Contact Center sent out another call for Explorers who are on vacation to return to the Lagrange Network.

During the event, the Contact Center will assess the behavior of returning Explorers and provide corresponding rewards to the Explorers who invited them.
Returning Explorers who meet the conditions can also use the Rediscovering the Lagrange Network feature at the Contact Center to conveniently check out the latest changes that have been made to the Lagrange Network while they were on vacation or purchase Tech Files that they missed out while they were on vacation via the Lagrange Retrieval event.
In order to make things more convenient for Explorers who are returning from their vacation to continue exploring star systems, the Antonios Explorer Contact Center and the Explorer Development Division have opened up Return Server star systems once again. All returning Explorers who meet the conditions will be eligible to sign these special exploration agreements and start exploring in a corresponding return server.
