ACTASF was brought into the Star Fleet Universe specifically to reach markets that other SFU space tactical games (Star Fleet Battles, Federation Commander) could not reach, i.e., players more CHRISTMAS, Version 2019 CHRISTMAS, Version concerned with fun than with engineering, accounting, and physics. Having brought ACTASF into the fold, so to speak, it deserved development and support. We have, for years, published a “Christ- mas Ship” for Federation Commander. With the advent of Shapeways, Steve Zamboni, one of our sculptors, was kind enough to create min- iatures for the Sleigh, Christmas Tree, Star, Candy Cane, Snowflake, and Gingerbread Man. These immediately produced calls by ACTASF players to provide game stats for the new Christmas miniatures. Stephen V. Cole (who had created all of the North Polar ships for FC and who had done the layout for ACTASF1.2 and ACTASF2.1) quickly N created this small booklet. He took a first pass at doing the ship de- O scription pages in one day and ACTASF developer Tony Thomas was R kind enough to fill in the missing data in one night.

The diminutive but industrious people who live there are genetically related the Vulcans, but have average human- oid intelligence and a sparkling sense of humor. Their republic is a rich one, generating far more resources than they could ever T need, but rather than trading with Federation planets they give away their wealth to planets undergoing some crisis or disaster, or to planets which appear (to the government of the Elvenolore folk) to need a boost to their spirits in order to reach higher orders of cultural development. The galaxy is a dangerous place, however, and the North Polar Republic maintains a serious fleet of warships intended to not only defend their republic but to protect their ships that deliver relief and cultural supplies to other worlds.
