This is a player event with a long tradition starting in 2007, it even inspired CCP to create an event called the Federation Grand Prix in 2019. Below you will find information from some of the past Fed day celebrations.
Also, I would like to thank Commander A9 for keeping the tradition alive while I was gone for a few years.))
