Empire Day
Empire Day is a national holiday in the Empire on January 2nd. There's a party atmosphere in many star systems and planets of the Empire, especially on Capitol.[1][2]
On this day it is considered ‘proper and polite’ for Senators to attend physically in the Senate House on Capitol. A party atmosphere descends on Capitol as the entourages of each Senator arrive in their finery.[1]
