The First Jump Day is a holiday in the United Empire of Earth (UEE) held annually on April 10th. The day recognizes the day that Nick Croshaw became the first Human to discover a jump point on 10th April 2271.^[1]

History

Space craft began to vanish without explanation in the Sol system during the 23rd century, in a region of space that came to be nicknamed the Neso Triangle. The disappearances and the sounding mystery attracted both scientists and explorers to the region. Nick Croshaw, an astrophysicist looking for an explanation to the disappearances made the first discovery and traversal of a jump point by a human. Using a personally modified quantum drive, Nick Croshaw successfully navigated the jump tunnel and discovered a new planetary system. The system was named Croshaw in his honor.

The official UEE holiday was established in 2380 after the formation of the United Nations of Earth (UNE) government.^[2]

Traditions

Many commemorate the day by traversing a jump point or by searching for new jump points.

Trivia

On April 10th 2024, Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) held its own First Jump Day celebration on Star Citizen's Tech Preview Channel. For this test of the progress on Server Meshing and Replication layer technology, CIG opened its first functioning Jump Gates, and allowed players to test travelling between two systems for the first time. Players were able to travel between Stanton and Pyro via wormholes, with each system streaming in and out seamlessly. During the test, Star Citizen also achieved 350 concurrent players in a single shard.^[1]

-Eventually that system was named Croshaw in his honor - his journey was described as “the Jump that changed the course of Humanity” - and led to the star-faring future we depict in Star Citizen and Squadron 42.
+==History ==
-You might wonder why I am telling you this story – well, a little ahead of the historic date of April 10th, we had our own First Jump Day celebration on Star Citizen’s Tech Preview Channel this weekend!  For this test of our progress on Server Meshing and the Replication layer technology, we opened our first functioning Jump Gates, and allowed players to test travelling between our 2 systems for the first time in our history!  Players were able to travel between Stanton and Pyro via wormholes, with each system streaming in and out seamlessly. For those of you interested, our ‘verse’s own Nick Croshaw honor goes to an Evocati member called “MrTrash,” who we believe was the first in the community to successfully jump!  During the test, it is worth highlighting that we also achieved 350 concurrent players in a single shard (e.g. a Replication Layer with two connected servers), setting a new record for concurrent players in a single instance in Star Citizen!

-After many hard years of work towards a goal many thought was impossible, we are on the cusp of delivering one of the final pieces of technology that will enable a connected, shared universe that thousands of people can experience together at the same time.
