*The Alliance Festival of Culture has entered its final week with a celebration of food and drink on the planet Birmingham in the [[Diso]] system. [[Corinne Macintyre]], culture correspondent for the [[Alliance Tribune]], reported: "City streets are lined with stalls offering a wide range of food. Dishes range from humble, home-cooked recipes using local speciality [[Diso Ma Corn]], to delicacies such as [[Baked Greebles|baked greebles]]. Drink connoisseurs have sampled everything from [[Ethgreze Tea Buds]] to [[Leestian Evil Juice]], while a multi-storey cocktail bar sponsored by distillers of [[Lavian Brandy]] has attracted revellers. Despite some companies experiencing difficulty sourcing ingredients, following lower than expected harvests in some systems, this event has been enjoyed by millions of hungry visitors." To mark the conclusion of the seven-week festival, [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] made this announcement: "I'd like to offer my sincerest thanks to everyone who helped make the Alliance Festival of Culture a grand success. We’ve enjoyed amazing artwork, heard beautiful music and experienced great theatre in recent weeks, much to our delight. I have been reminded just how diverse and colourful the [[Alliance]]'s shared cultures can be. Artists and creatives across the galaxy are invited to make the Alliance their home and further enrich this vibrant society."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d6fd4298f36071fa033943f GalNet: Alliance Festival of Culture Celebrates Finale]</ref> | |||

*The notorious art thief known as the [[Winking Cat thief|Winking Cat]] has resurfaced in the [[Alioth]] system during the Alliance Festival of Culture. For the festival's sixth week, [[Garden City]] Gallery on Turner's World hosts an exhibition of the visual arts. Advanced security measures have been employed to prevent a repetition of the high-profile incident that occurred in June 3304, where the unique work 'Youscape' was stolen from a gallery vault. Local correspondent Daron Warmack reported for The [[Alliance Tribune]]: "When gallery staff noticed a painting hanging in a previously empty room, they were shocked to recognise it as 'Penance Street', the long-lost masterpiece of famous artist Megan Madigan. Experts have verified that this is the original artwork, which vanished in transit 60 years ago. A graphic of a winking cat was also discovered on the wall behind the picture. The Winking Cat has returned one of the Alliance's greatest art treasures – a personal contribution to the festival, perhaps, or maybe an act of penance." The Alliance Festival of Culture will conclude next week in the [[Diso]] system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d68dd5c1ffcad5fc829a889 GalNet: The Winking Cat's Return]</ref> | *The notorious art thief known as the [[Winking Cat thief|Winking Cat]] has resurfaced in the [[Alioth]] system during the Alliance Festival of Culture.
