Holidays of Fenspace (excerpt)
April 12 - Yuri's Night: One of the only holidays celebrated by all factions that isn't a holdover from mundane society. Yuri's Night commemorates the April 12, 1961 flight of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. All the factions view Gagarin as a founding father of sorts ("If he hadn't done it, we wouldn't be here.") and as a result celebrating Yuri's Night is very popular throughout Fenspace. Celebrations are similar to New Year's Eve parties, where people gather together for booze, music and general revelry.
Yuri's Night is also celebrated by some mundanes, mostly ex-Soviet citizens and people involved in hardtech space flight. The 2011 celebrations in Moscow, Baikonur, Cape Canaveral and Houston are considered legendary by those lucky to have been there.
