Included in this missive is your unique, one-time access code to enter Corulag at our private spacedocks, as well as your room assignment, an itinerary of the weekend’s panels and events, and a map of the convention space. We request that you arrive promptly at the time given to you with the access code, and register immediately upon arrival to receive your temporary keys and ID cards, which we request you carry on your person at all times.

In this spirit, your long weekend will be one of luxury and relaxation, with a member of our hospitality team assigned to attend to your every need, and you will have access to all of the convention’s amenities, including our spectacular rooftop bar, gaming floor, and spa.

We look forward to meeting you, and working together in the future to shine the light of our great Empire on all worlds in the galaxy.”
