The video celebrates Star Citizen’s Alien Week 2955, highlighting in-game events, a community contest to create alien-inspired dishes, and the introduction of the new Asperia Prowler Utility ship with related sales and giveaways. It also promotes a creative contest inviting players to imagine encounters with new alien species, offering a Prowler Utility game package as a prize, while encouraging community participation and caution against scams.
The video celebrates Alien Week 2955 in Star Citizen, an event commemorating First Contact Day—the historic moment in 2438 when humanity first encountered the Baru species. This event shifts the game’s focus from the military themes of Invictus Launch Week to the diverse, nonhuman aspects of life within the United Empire of Earth (UEE). The host, Farister, provides an overview of what players can expect during this special week, including various in-game activities, sales, and community engagement opportunities.
One of the key highlights mentioned is a community contest hosted on Spectrum, Star Citizen’s social platform. Players are invited to create a unique dish that incorporates as many of the Baru’s nine tastes as possible. The contest offers exciting alien ship prizes, encouraging players to creatively engage with the game’s lore and alien cultures. Additionally, there is an out-of-game sale featuring alien-themed ships and new paint sets for popular ships like the Talon, Sulin, and Prowler.
In-game, Alien Week introduces the new Asperia Prowler Utility ship, arriving with patch alpha 4.2. This ship adds fresh gameplay options and is a focal point for the event. To celebrate, Robert Space Industries, the developer behind Star Citizen, has generously provided a Prowler Utility game package with Lifetime Insurance (LTI) and a special paint for a giveaway. This prize is intended to excite the community and reward engagement during Alien Week.
The giveaway is structured as a contest where participants must submit their ideas on how they would handle encountering a new alien species in Star Citizen. While there is no indication that such an encounter will happen in the game, the prompt fits perfectly with the Alien Week theme. Entries are submitted via a Google form linked in the video description, with a deadline of midnight after July 1, 2025. The host clarifies the contest rules, emphasizing that it is free to enter, independent of YouTube, and that he is not affiliated with Robert Space Industries beyond facilitating the giveaway.
Finally, Farister reassures viewers that regular content will resume after Alien Week but felt it appropriate to tie the giveaway to this special event. He encourages viewers to participate and expresses excitement about reading the contest entries. He also warns participants to be cautious of scams and confirms that the winner will be contacted privately through official channels. The video concludes with gratitude for the community’s support and engagement with Star Citizen content.
