THE WOMAN IN GREEN & BLACK

As Captain Heptane steered the Vara and its crew through the isolated Hades system, an expanse devoid of life, she had no idea what darkness was waiting to claim them… and we still don’t know today.

So, on this Day of the Vara, we pay homage to the lost and hope to guide them home by lighting candles, sharing stories, and wearing costumes of the fallen. Ignore these traditions at your peril, lest the dead take you with them on their return to the ever after.

• HELLISH HUES Vara PaintsShroud yourself in the colors of the season with the new macabre Black Magic paint for the Polaris and the Guardian and Sabre series so you can pass through those galactic graveyards unharmed. If black and orange aren't your colors, have no fear; the eye-popping Purple Haze and ghastly Ghoulish Green paints return from the dead.
• CARVED IN FLESH Pumpkin Decorating ContestSharpen your knives and leave your mark. Whether carved, painted, or bedazzled, enter your Star Citizen-decorated pumpkin to gain a Pumpkino Spectrum badge and maybe even a top prize. Cast your candlelight over Spectrum for the details.
• BONE COLLECTORS Arena Commander: Kill CollectorSticks and stones may break your bones, but Arena Commander could kill you. Take on the deadly deluge in FPS Kill Collector mode and prove yourself a warrior, inside and out. Make it out alive to unlock classic Halloween masks. Learn more over on Spectrum.
• DEAD MEN TELL SHORT TALES Writing ContestWhat is the terrible truth behind the Vara’s sudden vanishing? Some believe we’ll never know, some are afraid to find out. Now it’s your turn to share your theories and campfire fables. Submit a short story from the perspective of the crew, the captain, or the ship herself. Petrifying prizes go to the most chilling reads.
