Is there a date set in the Gregorian calendar for Unification Day? (not officially) If there isn't one, shouldn't we try creating one for fans of the 'Verse to observe?

Browncoats celebrate U-Day?

Surely you jest! :)

Rallem, there is a date set for Unification Day-September 20. Although some folks do attach significance to it as a day when Browncoats came together, thus "unification"- most Browncoats don't observe it, unless you count having a drink in an Alliance friendly bar and having a fight as "observing" it.

Over on the OB ( Original Prospero Firefly Board )

there is mention of several dates in a thread, if you can find the thread. I'll try and come back and put them down. 'Course there may be some folks who come along and beat me to it.


Edited to add:

Dec. 9 Browncoat Day
September 30, 2005 - Serenity Day the release of the Movie. Also known as Serenity 'Versary ( as coined by 11th Hour ).

How ever it is celebrated, whether in a bar, or as a symbol of something else, it is an important day in the 'Verse, and it should be celebrated. Thank you for telling which day it is set.

FM,

I'm up for a drink and a brawl with the Alliance any time of the year.

I can sort of see myself in a Firefly Convention as the one Purplebelly on Unification Day. I would outnumber all of you, no matter how many of you there are. Although that would sound like a very long day.

Don't think for a second that I would hit a girl, because like any other gentleman I would shoot you dead.

Just out of curiousity, where did you get that date? I have looked around, and I have only seen that date used as Mals birthday.

From the Firefly Prospero board...

Here's the post.

http://forums.prospero.com/foxfirefly/messages?msg=33147.1

This post was made by FireflyPassenger a member of that board and this board who started out a Browncoat with the original ones who were here when the show was cancelled.

As I said above there is a bit of difference on how exactly we should mark this date, but this is the explanation that I saw. :-)

I'm sure 11th Hour or one of the other original BC's could tell you more.

I think you need to have a brown coat to celebrate this properly. Finding an Aliance bar may be the more difficult task.

And since all the planets will have different length years it will have to come down to which planet you use to set your calender by.

You mean you're not going to find an Alliance friendly bar and pick a fight? It is kinda hard to find a Zoe on short notice. :)

I actually prefer to celebrate Browncoat Day, it's everybody's day and not one filled with differences, but with shared happiness.

I don't do bars, actually... I prefer to break into Alliance hospitals and steal medical supplies... actually, maybe I will just find myself an Alliance friendly bar, lol...

And I think I will also celebrate Browncoat day

I'll be waiting in that alliance friendly bar as soon as we can all agree on a special day.

OK, so the Unification Day celebrated on the Sep 20th as referred above is because The Train Job aired on Sep 20th, both as alternate Pilot of the show, plus it was the only episode celebrating U-Day of the Alliance.

But in the time of the show's verse, what day on that calendar would the Alliance celebrate Unification Day?

Thanks for the help.
