"May the sacred stars shine upon our path of eternity, leading us onwards."
—Sacrum Chu Imperium Proverb
"Originating from the Solar System, the Beacon Festival began when humans first explored the Lagrange Spatial Anomaly. More than two million detection beacons were sent out for the matter deployment test, creating a spectacular "miniature galaxy." These star-like beacons not only gathered extensive experimental data for the "Otherside Project" but also illuminated the path for Explorers navigating the vast and dark universe just like lighthouses, guiding countless lost children and astray stars toward the direction of light.
After a year of exploring and navigating through the vast universe with painstaking effort, Explorers have valiantly battled at the edge of the galaxy, supported each other across star systems, and embarked on the ambitious journey of galaxy reformation. To thank all Explorers for their contribution to the Lagrange Network, the City of Antontas will hold a Beacon Celebration this year that combines competition, leisure, technology, and art. Packed with amazing content and rich rewards, we invite all Explorers to come home for this festive celebration!
Beacon Festival Event Time: Feb 7, 2024, 08:00 UTC to Feb 21, 2024, 07:00 UTC
Available to: All Star Systems
Event Rewards Preview:
Through the event, each Explorer can get up to 1,080 Proxima Coins (including gifts from the Beacon Loot page), 800 Cosmetic Points, a celebration-exclusive Static Emblem, a race-exclusive limited-time Dynamic/Static Emblem, limited-time Strategic Assets, and other rewards.
*Explorers have a chance to receive extra Proxima Coins by participating in "Beacon Ceremony," "Beacon Loot," and "Explorers Party."
The following is a detailed introduction to the various Beacon Celebration Event gameplay:
1. Beacon Ceremony
To celebrate the grand opening of the Beacon Celebration, the City of Antontas will hold three major UAV Plasma Shows at the Tower of Stars, Crux Biosphere Research Park, and Port of the Free from Feb 8 to Feb 10 daily at 04:00 UTC. The show refurbishes some of the retired UAVs that participated in the beacon test of the "Otherside Project." These UAVs have provided a remarkable contribution to the construction of the Lagrange Gate.

(1) Wishful Light Gift
Throughout these three plasma shows, Lucky Explorers will be chosen, rewarding them with a large number of Proxima Coins or the Static Emblem.
The "Beacon Festival Sightseeing Route" will be introduced during the event, and Explorers can get on the "Beacon Festival Sightseeing Route" to draw a random UAV ID featuring in the next UAV show's Wishful Light Gift event. The lucky Explorers will receive rewards if they have a matched UAV ID.
All three UAV shows can be accessed by boarding the exclusive sightseeing ship via the quick entry on the interface.
(2) Ceremony Wish
All sightseeing ships are free of charge during the Beacon Festival. While aboard the sightseeing ship, Explorers can earn rewards by releasing Wish Beacons from the ship and interacting with wishes made by other Explorers within the scene.
The Beacon Festival Channel will synchronize all wishes made by Explorers.
Ceremony Wish Event Time:
Feb 7, 2024, 08:00 UTC to Feb 21, 2024, 07:00 UTC
Participation Requirements: Explorers who have expanded their Base to Zone 2.
Participation Rewards: During the event, Explorers will get limited Proxima Coin rewards for taking sightseeing routes and releasing Wish Beacons. Explorers who take the sightseeing ship and share the Antontas UAV show to Campfire Hub will get Livery Points.
2. Eternal Heavens - UAV Carrier Release of BP Event
During the brutal Angulum battle, the formidable automated defense forces of the Sacrum Chu Imperium greatly impressed the designers from Jupiter Industries. Inspired by this, in the design of the Eternal Heavens Carrier, designers employed a great deal of cutting-edge UAV Tech, and the innovative design of the arc-shaped hangars enabled the synchronous deployment of UAVs and aircraft, allowing them to cooperate with each other in combat. The name "Eternal Heavens" embodies the designers' great aspirations: Jupiter, with its powerful presence, has created an invisible canopy over the inner solar system, shielding billions of lives on Earth; similarly, the Eternal Heavens will serve as the backbone of the fleet, venturing into a new universe among the infinite stars.
(1) Eternal Heavens - UAV Carrier Abilities
Eternal Heavens - UAV Carrier Blueprint
(The picture is only for display and does not represent the final quality of the game.)
- Cooperative Combat UAV
The hangars for UAVs and aircraft on the Eternal Heavens can accommodate three medium fighter formations and three special UAVs—a novel combat concept from Jupiter Industries: by closely coordinating and collaborating between aircraft and UAVs, it enhances aircraft combat performance on the battlefield. During combat, UAVs will work in unison with fighter formations to strike the same target or provide anti-aircraft support for our units. Moreover, they also come with distinctive, cutting-edge electronic devices capable of providing extra strategic reinforcement support to fighter formations.
- Hangar Expansion Module
The Eternal Heavens UAV Carrier provides extra hangar expansion modules, such as Large Fighter Hangars, Corvette Hangars, or Repair UAV Hangars, to fulfill different tactical demands.
- Diverse Integrated Armory
The Eternal Heavens UAV Carrier features multiple firepower support systems, including Heavy Cannons, Anti-Aircraft Pulse Cannons, Experimental Ion Cannons, and various missile systems. These weapons not only enhance the carrier's defensive capabilities but also provide additional firepower support to allies in combat.
(2) Blueprint Release Schedule
The blueprint of the Eternal Heavens - UAV Carrier will be released on all star systems. The debut event is divided into two phases:
