15 July
According the standard calendar, every 15 July the Beatwodn day is celebrated in commemoration of a vicious victory.
During the duration of the day, engagement Craftsmen rules, which reduce duels between Mech pilots to two per day (to minimize unnecessary damage), are ignored, allowing for more intensive individual combat. In this day, all the pilots can attack whoever they want as many times as they were able, outside of Clan Wars as only exception).
Origin
Although the origin of this celebration is not clear, according to some unofficial sources, it goes back to the overwhelming victory carried by the first Mech built by the Radix tribe, with which they crushed a conventional army of Old Terra, according to the most reliable resources, or a pirate Warlord according to others.
However, the fact is that the first contingent of war Mechs massacred a strong and numerous contingent of conventional tanks.
To commemorate this crushing victory, or some other whose memory has been lost, buried under the thousands of conflicts that have happened in the galaxy over a couple centuries, many pilots began to officially celebrate duels every July 15.
During this celebration the rules of combat relax, allowing numerous rounds that normally ended in butchers where the authorities turned a blind eye, as the few attempts to cut this event, resulted in riots that caused serious damages in public and governmental facilities.
At present, and sanctioned by the Craftsmen, this day has become a special occasion that provides the facilities of the Craftsmen Mecha Games and Tournaments to surrender to these batteries of duels without rest during the whole duration of the day.
