Holidays in Solar Echoes (part 1)


What kinds of holidays are celebrated in the Solar Echoes universe? Holidays stem from cultural traditions, and when considering some of the alien cultures in Solar Echoes, it would be interesting to imagine what types of holidays they might celebrate and which holidays they wouldn't. For instance, consider the Archaeloids—their young are born of eggs in the deep oceans on their home planet, and the young must fend for themselves without parents or family to help. It is not until they reach maturity that the survivors are welcomed into Archaeloid society, so the day of their entrance into civilization (also seen as the day they escaped from the wilds) is celebrated. The day of their birth is uncertain, so birthdays are not even considered as a holiday worth celebrating in Archaeloid culture.
