Greetings Citizens Greetings Citizens,
Can you believe it’s already February? January was a month of hard work preparing Star Citizen Alpha 2.6.1 and Spectrum for launch… and it was a month of epic contributions from our incredible community. If you have not been keeping up, I highly encourage you to head over and check out all of the amazing content that has been submitted to the Community Hub.
So what’s going on this week?
Monday brings us the second episode of Citizens of the Stars, our new weekly program exclusively about our favorite part of the Star Citizen Universe, YOU! Does Character Artist Jeremiah Lee take the trophy from Ben Lesnick in another segment of Quantum Questions? You’ll have to watch to find out.
On Tuesday, the Lore team regales us with another installment in one of their many continuing series. One of my favorite things that come from these lore posts is the community voice-over renditions that inevitably follow.
On Wednesday, join Lead Writer Dave Haddock as he explores the Orion system on another informative episode of Loremaker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
On Thursday, we’ll touch base with the Austin studio. If you’re looking for all the latest development news on Star Citizen, you don’t want to miss out on this all new episode of Around the Verse.
Join us on Friday where we’ll broadcast LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/starcitizen for another episode of Star Citizen Happy Hour, this time alongside Lead Writer Dave Haddock!
And that’s all for this week!
Wait.. no.. there’s more!? drumroll The January Monthly Report will be released on Friday! These reports provide an in-depth look at the on-going development of Star Citizen, with teams from around the globe sharing updates on their progress in the previous month.
And with that, we’ll see you in the ‘Verse!

Flight Suit Cosplay by Valkyre We are always excited when we see cosplay submissions on the Community Hub. Ben Valkyre created an album of his first flight suit and armor for Star Citizen using “EVA foam mats and lots of glue.” His flight suit looks great, and we eagerly await what he will come up with next!
Check out the full gallery here.
Vanduul PC Build by M0reP0wer I instantly fell in love with how sleek this Vanduul PC Case is. We’ve been watching his forum thread as he updated his build to completion, and it looks amazing! M0reP0wer UV printed the Vanduul Glaive on top and laser-etched the Esperia logo in the front. Great job!

Operation Pitchfork Jacket by Shadowma Do you hate the Vanduul? Probably not as much as Shadowma, because he has created custom flight jackets dedicated to the citizen initiative to create a Vanduul-free Orion. With the help of his wife, he will take on the Vanduul in style!
We hope to see more soon!

Stanton System Hologram by Admiral Wischmop Admiral Wischmop (with the help of wernereisk4lt and KingNerd)created a Hologram map of the Stanton System using a laser cutting machine on acrylic glass, and it looks so sweet! We are constantly blown away by the creativity of our backers, and this is no exception.
Excellent work Adm. Wischmop!
