The Banu text (Ochoa glyphs) featured on the Luminalia banner and other promotional materials has been translated by the
Star Citizen community's linguists, who utilize the
Smoother Sailing in The Protectorate – A Rust Society Guide To Interacting with The Banu to transliterate the script into Standard Romanized Banu (SRB).
The two lines of text translate to:
- Line 1 (SRB): LUMINALIYA
- This is the Banu adaptation of the Human name for the holiday, Luminalia.
- Line 2 (SRB): TSITI EFANGA (or Tsikti Efanga)
- This is the original Banu name for the celebration, which translates directly to "Glow Festival".
The full phrase essentially means:
"Luminalia: The Glow Festival." This ties directly into the event's core tradition of lighting ceremonial lamps.
