Parade
During the event, special event beacons with an Amarr fleet spawned. They were named after the titan of the fleet, and appeared as a beacon in space as "TES <titan name> Parade". New to the celebration events, each celebration fleet featured distinct liveries, corresponding to the house of the system they were based in (Jamyl the Liberator's fleet in Amarr had golden skins).
The systems where parades will take place are:
- Amarr (TES Jamyl the Liberator, ~550 km off of Amarr VI (Zorast) - Moon 2 - Theology Council Tribunal)
- Ardishapur Prime (TES Yonis the Pious, ~500 km off of Ardishapur Prime IX - Moon 17 - Ardishapur Family Bureau)
- Kador Prime (TES Uriam of Fiery Heart, ~525 km off of Kador Prime VI - Moon 1 - Kador Family Bureau)
- Khanid Prime (TES Garkeh of the Marches, ~340 km off of Khanid Prime V - Moon 1 - Khanid Innovation Factory)
- Kor-Azor Prime (TES Articio the Redeemed, ~550 km off of Kor-Azor Prime II - Kor-Azor Family Bureau)
- Sarum Prime (TES Merimeth the Serene, off of Sarum Prime VI - Moon 7 - Sarum Family Assemvly Plant)
- Tash-Murkon Prime (TES Catiz of Tash-Murkon Parade, ~325 km off of Tash-Murkon Prime V - Moon 5 - Tash-Murkon Family Bureau)
On 8 August 2020, following downtime, all pilots were given a task to shoot fireworks at a specific one of the titans listed. Pilots received 5k SP directly for their efforts.
Each titan had a description which provided background on their namesake. They can be accessed here.

Notes
Some fleets had a special "half-star" decal on the sides of dreadnoughts and titans. These seemed to be used on the fleets with liveries that had not yet been introduced as SKINs. No direct or lore explanation was given for these symbols.
