R3-A2
R3-A2 is an orange and white R3-series astromech droid, served with the Rebel Alliance on Hoth. As an R3 series, R3-A2 was designed for use on capital ships, but could work on a suitable starfighter like R2 and similar droids. R3-A2's databanks contained detailed statistics on thousands of military starships, had space to store 5 hyperspace jump co-ordinates, and was programmed with coordinating starfighters in combat.
The R3 Series Astromech were produced by Industrial Automation were very similar to their predecessor the R2 Series, except they were designed primarily for military use, particularly aboard capital ships, but can function in the same role as the R2 on starfighters. They came equipped with several tool arms, internal cargo storage units, on board navi-comp for calculating hyperspace jumps as well as store several pre-calculated jump co-ordinates, comp-link probe for linking to computer systems. The primary difference between the R3 and R2 is the R3 lack the extendable sensor, and the dome was transparent, allowing its sensors greater range, and had increased intelligence. While the droids can make noises, they can't speak, making beeps, squeaks, squeals and other noises, which can be translated by most translator droids, and some humanoids can learn to understand the basics of this form of communication, however they are able to transmit large amounts of information this way, which these types of droids use to communicate vast technical information back and forth. Many owners modify these droids with any number of additional tools, equipment or abilities, including jet thrusters for limited flight on a planet or for zero-g maneuvering, weapons, or specialized equipment.

Combat
R3-A2 isn't much use in a personal fight, but is much more useful aboard a starship. It is quite capable of serving on a starfighter, making repairs and other duties of other astromechs, but prefers to work on capital ships, especially carriers where it can co-ordinate multiple fighters, providing them with targeting and flight information to enhanced the pilot's chances in combat, and also co-ordinate hyperspace jumps for quick attacks and escapes.

Heuristic Processor
The R3 series droids are able to learn new skills and feats, and take on ordinary classes (see d20 modern pg 270 Support Characters), but must relate to the medical field in some way.

Capital Ship Programming
When aboard a military capital ship, gains +1 to all checks, doubles the Aid Other bonus. It can alter the Starship Operations: Light to match whatever starship it is serving on within 1d4+6 rounds.

360 Degree Vision
The transparent dome allows the R3 to see in all directions at once, thus it can not be surprised and flanking opponents only gain half the normal bonus, and grants the R3 +1 to Spot checks (already calculated in stats).

Co-Ordinate Jumps
While R3-A2 is on a capital ship (light or larger), can quickly calculate, adjust and upload hyperspace jump co-ordinates for up to 5 wings (each wing made up of up to 4 ultralight ships) of designated ally ships, granting the wings +3 to Navigate checks to calculate hyperspace jumps and +3 to Pilot checks to remain in formation when they exit hyperspace.

Squadron Guidance
While R3-A2 is on a capital ship (light or larger), provides a +2 to Initiative, and +2 to attack rolls for the first round, to up to 5 designated allied wings (each of up to 4 ultralight ships, for a total of 20 starfighters) at the start of combat as long as the fighter pilots are not surprised or flatfooted at the start of combat.

Squadron Targeting
If a designated ally wing of fighters (ultralight) is attacking the same target as the capital ship (light or larger) that R3-A2 is on, the attacking wing gains +1 to all attack rolls for the round, and the first weapon fired against the same target in the round has its critical threat range increased by 1 (20x2 becomes 19-20x2, to a maximum of 17-20. If the weapon already has a critical threat of 17-20, increase the critical damage multiplier by 1, x2 becomes x3, etc).

New Feat:

Shutterstock_5884064z.jpg

(Editor's Note: We know it doesn't fits the Feat as written, but it's very hard to find an image that can represent it as well... or as funny).

NEW FEAT: COSMOGUN MAGAZINES.
The good news for the bad guys is that you don't have unlimited ammunition. The bad news is that you'll still shoot so many times without reloading that it won't make any difference.
PRE-REQUISITES: Personal Firearms Proficiency, Advanced Firearms Proficiency, Rapid Reload.
EFFECT: Once per encounter, you can pay 3 Action Points to activate this Feat, and its effects will remain active for a duration of 5 rounds plus your Dexterity modifier. During that time as long as you keep firing your weapon every round, you have enough ammunition on your person for at least 2 full reloads of the weapon, and it's a weapon with a minimum ammo capacity of 2 rounds (and does not has a Linked ammo capacity), you can continue firing without worrying about having to manually reload even if the weapon normally would need to (ex. multi-shot Derringers). Once you stop shooting, or the Feat's effect runs its course, all of the ammunition used, including reloads, plus an additional 10% in your equipment (on your person, carried in a Bag of Holding, etc.) will be spent. If you do not have enough ammunition carried or easily accessible, the duration ends immediately.

Turas
The Turas is another ship built by the same company that built the Realta in the Kelvin Timeline of Star Trek. Similar to the Realta, the ship consists of a circular primary hull, with a split in the front running half the length, within which is the sensors and deflector dish. At the ear of the saucer a pair of pylons angle up and outwards upon which a pair of warp nacelles are mounted. About one quarter of the length from the end of the nacelles a set of pylons angle down and inwards that connect to a small secondary hull structure, containing the warp core, main engineering, and additional impulse engine thrusters. This allows for greater internal space in the saucer for other systems ad cargo, and to easily eject the warp core in the case of a critical failure.
The saucer contains the bridge, crew quarters, cargo holds, main systems, a modest sickbay, a four person transporter and a heavier cargo transporter in the main cargo hold, with 15 2 person escape pods as standard. The Turas was built to be both a general purpose and light combat ship, used by small security forces, planet defense forces for anti-pirate work. The Turas shares the modular design of the Realta before it, making it a likely upgrade for users of the Realta, with a maximum warp speed of Warp 4, requiring a base crew of at least 5. The ship is lightly armed with three Type 2 phasers, one covering the forward top half, one covering the forward bottom half, and the other the rear half. Under the rear of the saucer is a hanger which can support a single shuttle.

Phaser Type 3
Phasers are the main offensive weapons of the Federation, using nadian based phased energy that fire beams, capable of variable energy output. Usually mounted in a low profile turret to allow greater field of fire. Able to change damage by lowering the number of die to a minimum of 2d10 as a free action once per round. The Type 3 phaser was available on civilian ships.
Damage: 10d10
Damage Type: Fire/Energy
Range Increment: 5000 ft
Rate of Fire: Semi
Minimum Ship Size: Huge
Purchase DC: 33
Restriction: Res (+2)

Mining Laser
This laser is designed to slowly and precisely cut into asteroids to break them up or expose materials of interest to the mining ship. As a full round action, a ship with a mining laser, after making a Knowledge: Earth and Life Sciences check DC 16 and an attack roll to strike a Defense 15, +1 per 5 points over the DC succeeded by, able to cut through up to 10 feet of most asteroids (rock, common metals such as nickle, iron, etc), 20 feet through ice comets. Through asteroids made of denser metals, cuts through 5 feet per full round. The laser has a range increment of 2000 ft, out to a maximum of 10,000 ft. If the ship is moving faster than 1000 ft, suffers -1 to attack rolls per 500 ft over 1000 ft the ship is moving that round. If used a weapon, the mining laser deals 6d20 energy damage, ignoring 20 points of hardness, but suffers -4 to attack rolls, as it can only fire in a 60 degree arc in front of the ship with a rate of fire of single, but downwards up to 80 degrees (almost straight down from the base of the split in the front of the ship).

Agile Ships
All Star Trek ships are more agile for their size, gaining a +1 Dodge bonus to Defense as long as the ship moves.

Easy to Repair
Due to the nature of the technology in this universe, especially Federation or Borg technology, all repairs have DC reduced by -4, and time reduced by 25%.

Swiss-Army Tech
Due to the adaptable nature of the technology, and skilled engineers, especially those in the Federation, a piece of technology can be jury-rigged and modified to do something it wasn't originally intended to do, as long as it is within reason (GM discretion), such as modifying the deflector array into a type of energy weapon, albeit limited use. Modifying a device this way means it can not be used for its original purpose at the same time, and requires a Knowledge: Technology check DC 18 and Repair check DC 21 and 5 +1d6 minutes for moderate changes (such as deflector array being used as a means to emit a type of energy as a weapon); while more extensive modifications require a Knowledge: Technology check DC 25 and Repair check DC 30, and 30 +2d10 minutes. This type of modification means the item is unable to be used for its original purpose until it has been restored to its original configuration.

Shield Dependent
Star Trek ships have powerful shields, having the equivalent of Deflector Shields (d20 Future pg 42) and provide bonus HP against all attacks equal to 20 HP / starship HD + 25% HD, for example, a ship with 5 HD (100 HP) will have shields with 125 HP. However as they have developed incredible powerful shields, they are a bit lacking in the armour department, suffering -2 hit dice per category and subtype. There are a few exceptions to this rule, being Klingon, Dominion and Hirogen ships which have standard hit dice for their subtype and category, with a few notable other ships, such as the Defiant class.

Variants


Turas Mk2

The Mk2 Turas takes advantage of a number of upgrades in technology, including improved warp engines for greater speed of warp 5.5, improved hull materials used in construction, improved shield generators. A fourth phaser is added to provided additional firepower, allowing it to fire-link two phasers in the forward and rear arcs.
Make the following changes of a Turas to make a Turas Mk2. Both -M and -P version of the Mk2 exist, with similar modifications of the original
Weight increased to 490 tons;
Hit Dice increase to 15d20 (300 hp) shields 375 hp
Crew minimum to 4;

Increase Passenger Capacity to 40;
Add 1 additional Phaser Type 3;
Change sickbay to standard medbay;
Replace Warp engine with max warp speed of Warp 5.5;
PDC: 46

Turas-Q
This version of the Turas is heavily modified for combat and to conceal its weapons until they are deployed. The -Q is deployed within convoys to act as surprise heavy defense for the convoy against pirates and mercenaries. Using the Mk2 as a base, the -Q has a reinforced hull, sensor shielding to conceal its weapons, which include 4 Type 4 phasers for excellent coverage of all angles, the mining laser is replaced with a photon torpedo launcher, a laser point defense system. A set of four heavy plasma cannons are fitted forward for a heavy frontal assault. To round out the enhancements, more powerful impulse engines are fitted to allow it to intercept pirates before they can get too close to a convoy.

Sensor Shielding
The ship is designed to disguise or hide parts of its equipment or interior from sensor scans. While weapons are not active, any scans to detect what weapons the ship has, or armour suffer -8 to their checks. A failed scan will only reveal the ship has standard equipment for its base type, and basic cargo that the crew inputs (food stuffs, basic construction matarial, etc).
PDC: 25 + one-quarter base PDC of the ship, Restriction: Mil or Illegal (+3 to +4).

Photon Torpedo
Photon torpedoes are anti-matter weapons with variable yields. These weapons usually draw their anti-matter from the equipped ship's own anti-matter supplies. These torpedoes require special containment and feeding systems to load and unload the anti-matter after a fight.
At its lowest setting, the torpedo can do 3d20 to a single target, or deal this damage to a 2000 ft square, and can increase damage by 1 die up to a maximum of 12d20, but reduce the maximum radius by 100 ft per die increase, Reflex save DC 19 for half damage when set for an area.. The damage can be to the maximum radius, or to a single target. These weapons are very dangerous in an atmosphere and are usually banned from planetary use except in special circumstances. If used in a planetary atmosphere, deals damage to an area +50% greater, and if set for a single target, deals half damage to a 100 ft area, and Reflex saves in an atmosphere is increased to 21 for half damage. If the ship loses all power while in battle, there is a 50% chance that a loaded torpedo loses containment and it detonates, dealing damage to the equipped ship, ignore its armour hardness.

Lucrehulk Class
The Lucrehulk is a starship utilized by the Trade Federation, produced by Hoersch-Kessel Drive Inc, to haul freight, and many were also turned into battleships, which carried droid soldiers and fighters during the Clone Wars, others as droid carriers, with most of its systems fitted for carrying, maintaining and launching droid fighters or droops. The ships consisted of a large C shaped hull with the opening forward, with a central sphere structure positioned on the inner side at the back of the C. This sphere structure could separate and make planetary landings.

Lucrehulk LH-3210 Cargo
This version is the basic model, able to carry massive amounts of cargo. The central sphere can not separate from the rest ship. The ships are fitted with 28 quad laser cannon turrets, several dedicated to point defense and others for direct attack. Typically crewed by about 500 crew, although depending on the operators, about 75% will be droids.

Lucrehulk Battleship
The battleship version of the Lucrehulk was the primary capital ship of the Trade Federation's Trade Defense Force, and when they joined the CIS, made up a large part of the Confederation Navy. They are modified versions, where the central sphere could separate, functioning as a landing ship to ferry cargo and crew up to the main ship. The outer ring was fitted with turbolasers, improved power systems were added to help power the weapons and greatly boost the shielding. The cavernous cargo bays modified into hangers for troop ships and droid fighters and bombers. Crew compliment was 150 to 350, plus any additional droids, able to carry up to 100 living passengers. A fully loaded Lucrehulk could carry 50 C-9979 Landing ships, 1500 vulture droid fighters, 4 to 8 shuttles, 550 multi-troop transports, 6520 Armoured Assault Tanks, and 500 to 1000 other ground/hover attack craft, with about 139,000 battle droids of various models. However most ships typically carried half to two thirds these numbers, depending on duration between when they can resupply and how many battles they participated in.

Reconnect/Disconnect to Lucrehulk Battleship
In a non combat situation, the pilot can perform a docking maneuver with a Pilot DC 10 if the Lucrehulk Battleship is not moving, and takes 1d4+2 rounds. Can be reduced to 2 rounds by increasing the DC to 21. To dock in combat, requires the pilots of both ships to fly in formation first, and the docking DC increases to base DC 17 with any other conditional modifiers. Disconnecting from the main ship takes 2 rounds in non combat situations with a Pilot DC 10, but in combat both ships must make checks as flying in formation.

Droid Tri-Fighter
The droid Tri-Fighter is an advanced droid fighter used by the Confederacy Navy. Developed by Colicoid Creation Nest, the makers of the droideka, it had a ridged three-armed design based on a fearsome predator native to the planet Colla IV. Three bracing arms set equilateral around the roating, gyroscopic core, connected to the triple engine block with independent thrusters, giving the fighter incredible agility. It was armed with a heavy laser that protruded from the central ball, which had the droid's main red photoreceptors above it, giving it a menacing look, and a laser mounted on each of the three arms, which could fire independently or together. The laser mountings were on rails that allowed increased accuracy. The lower brace arms can be fitted with missiles mounted on the upper parts, along the side of the fighter.

The droid starfighter is controlled by a droid brain, allowing it to perform multiple actions at once. The droid brain can make two normal attacks, while making two normal moves, which can include two stunts at the same round.

Swarm Tactics
Droid fighters are able to fly in formations with greater numbers and closer distances than ships piloted by living pilots. Up to 8 droid fighters can fit in a 500 ft square and make up a wing. Attacks are made as a fire-linked battery (battery rules for the first 4, fire-link the next four fighters in the wing) of the wing commander's attack, and all the additional fighters providing +1 Defense to the wing commander's defense. When attacking another wing of starships, the droid fighter wing gains +2 to attack rolls. When attacking a larger ship (Light or bigger) the droid fighter wing gains +2 die of damage.

Networked Calculations
If the droid tri-fighter is missed by an attack, any allied tri-fighter within 1000 gains a +1 to attack rolls against the ship that attacker if within 2000 ft of the attacked tri-fighter.

Light Laser
A lighter version of the standard laser, has slightly higher range than the standard, but lighter damage.

Light Laser (PL6)
Damage: 4d8
Critical: 20
Damage Type: Fire
Range Increment: 3500 ft
Rate of Fire: S, A
Minimum Ship Size: Huge
Purchase DC: 29
Restriction: Mil (+3)


DIS-T81
The Tri-Fighter droid DIS-T81 had taken part in the Siege of Coruscant and it, with any other Tri-fighters in its squadron (7 others), were modified with afterburners and other combat programming to allow them to fill anti-fighter role.
Make the following changes to a Tri-Fighter droid to create DIS-T81 and up to 7 others that operate in it's wing:
Add afterburners (increase speed to 5500 ft during afterburner maneuver) with 2 uses;
Add Outmaneuver;
Add Contingency Protocol;
PDC +1

Outmaneuver
While attacking an ultralight attack craft (fighter, interceptor, and similar subtype), and not in the defending craft's forward arc, the defender suffers -1 to its Defense and -1 to any Pilot checks to perform any maneuvers.

Contingency Protocol
If a ship in this wing is destroyed, the wing immediately makes an attack of opportunity against the attacker, at -4 to attack roll, but if scores a critical increase critical modifier by 1, x2 becomes x3, x3 becomes x4.


DIS-347
The Tri-Fighter droid DIS-347 was another droid that participated in the Siege of Coruscant during the Clone Wars to fill the role of heavy assault, armed with concussion missiles and improved long range targeting systems.
Make the following changes to a tri-fighter droid and up to 7 others for its wing:
Add afterburner (increase speed to 5500 ft during afterburner maneuver) with 2 uses;
Add Target Lock;
Add Marksmanship;
Add concussion missiles, 6 missiles total;
PDC +1

Target Lock
When an allied fighter successfully hits an enemy fighter with a missile within 5000 ft, DIS-347 and other tri-fighters that are, or were part of its wing gain a +2 to attack rolls to attack that same enemy fighter with a missile weapon in the same round.

Marksmanship
The droids have the range increment of their weapons increased by 1000 ft.

Combat Options/Maneuvers

Brace For Impact
The captain of the ship can give this command using a free action that uses up one of their attack of opportunity for the round in response to an attack from an opponent or in reaction to failed pilot check to avoid a hazard such as an asteroid. The Captain performs a Knowledge (tactics) DC 10, or an Intelligence check DC 15 if doesn't have Knowledge (tactics) skill. The crew in response locks down systems and items, or prepares auto-repair systems. On a successful check, the ship gains a +2 bonus to any saves (Reflex and Fort saves) the ship and crew have to make for the rest of the round.

Defensive Position
The Pilot can make a Pilot check DC 15 as part of its move action to turn the craft to reduce exposure to its vital systems. The ship has a 25% chance of turning critical strikes against it into normal hits. If the ship has Fortification, this stacks to a maximum of 75% chance to turn a critical strike to a normal hit.

Fire Interceptors!
If the ship is equipped with a point defense system, it can be set to intercept weapons instead of fighters and missiles. When used this way, the point defense system can not destroy missiles or make attacks of opportunity against ships until set back to normal. When set to intercept, when an opponent fires a projectile or an energy weapon that is not a beam weapon (beam in name or described as firing a beam), the point defense system rolls a 1d20 and adds the ship's targeting system bonus, if the result equals or exceeds the attack roll of the attacking ship, the weapon deals no damage to the equipped ship.

Broadside!
The gunners fire all weapons on one side, or turrets directed to one side, attacking any and all targets in a line the width of the firing ship's length with a length of the shortest weapon range increment in that arc, Reflex save 10 + highest gunner's attack bonus -4, dealing damage equal to the weakest weapon's damage.

Concentrate All Fire!
The captain orders the gunners to concentrate all gunners that are able to attack a single target, making a Knowledge (tactics) DC 15, which grants a +1 bonus to attack rolls for every 5 points the captain beats the DC to a minimum of +1 for the rest of the round against that target, however the ship loses the Pilot's Dex bonus to Defense for the rest of the round.

Skindancing
One of the most difficult manoeuvres known, skindancing involves holding the solo craft in close proximity to the hull of a target. The craft performing the skindancing must be ultralight and the target craft at least two type categories larger, and must have started within 500 ft of each other. The pilot of the attempting craft makes a Pilot DC 30 check and flies in close proximality to the target craft and matches speed with it, with a failure having a 50% chance of ramming the target ship instead. On a success, the skindancing ship can not be targeted by attacks by the targeted ship it is skindancing, and other attacks strike the ship the skindancing ship is skindancing instead. This lasts for the round and must be attempted at the start of each of the target ship's rounds.

Warp-Wrap
1st level arcane spell
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 ft
Components: V, S, M (a scrap of wrapping paper)
Duration: Instantaneous
Choose a large or smaller sized creature can see within range. The target must make a Charisma (Will?) saving throw. On a failed save, the target disappears as it is sent to the plane of holiday cheer until the start of its next turn, at which point it reappears in the same space it occupied (or the nearest available space) wrapped in paper covered in festive designs and patterns. While banished to the plane of holiday cheer, the creature is incapacitated.
While wrapped in paper the target is Blinded and its speed is halved. The target or another creature within 5 feet of it can use an action or bonus action to remove the paper. Otherwise, the creature remains wrapped until the paper is removed. The paper is flammable and is instantly destroyed if the wrapped creature ignites or takes fire damage.


Order of the Claus
A saintly order made up of variants of Santa Claus, Saint Nicolas and other beings that fulfill similar roles of spreading cheer, good will, giving gifts to the good, and punishing evil.

CENTRAL OFFICES: unknown
MAJOR REGIONAL OFFICES: North Pole on Earth, A large island floating about the Plane of Good
MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER: Unknown
Logo: Stylized image of side of Santa Claus
INFORMATION: The Order of the Claus is made up of multiple variants of Santa Claus, St. Nicolas and other beings that spread cheer, unity and good will. They work to spread good will, cheer and unity amongst humanity and other races. They are most active around Christmas and similar holidays, delivering goods, presents, medical aid and other needed goods. Besides the variants of Santa Claus and similar beings, other creatures and sentient beings work to help these beings of good by running the operations to help in the delivering and production of goods, food, presents, etc; some work as body guards and others as ambassadors to ensure the agents of the Order can move about any location where they are needed.
Some members work only to punish evil, such as Krampus, although these members are fewer in numbers, they are the more secretive in nature, and many of these members will ignore any and all laws to deliver the punishment of their targeted evil being.

The only locations run by the Order of the Claus known to outsiders are a fortress city at the North Pole on Earth, and a huge floating island that moves about the Plane of Good, however there are many hidden and secret factories, training facilities and offices throughout the universe that are only known to some members of the Order, particularly the Santa variants. The Order has a large fleet of starships, ground and air vehicles to facilitate in the delivery of goods, and moving their members about the galaxies. The Order also has one of the largest collection of artifacts and users that can create portals to allow near instantaneous travel to virtually anywhere in the multiverse.
Non Santa variant members have access to a ready supply of general equipment, insurance, and are well paid, and access to portals that will take them to their local Order facility for their duties. Depending on their role, many members are free to pursue whatever they wish during the year, however, regardless of their role in the Order, the month of December they must dedicate strictly to the Order and perform their primary duties.


Possible Adventure Seeds

Spells

Ray of Frost

Evocation (cold)
Level 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 25 ft +5 ft/2 levels
Effect: Ray
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes

A ray of freezing air and ice projects from your pointing finger. You must succeed a ranged touch attack with the ray to deal damage to a target. The ray deals 1d3 points of cold damage.

Sleet Storm
Conjuration (creation, cold)
Level: 3
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 400 ft + 40 ft/level
Area: Cylinder (40 ft radius, 20 ft high)
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: None

Driving sleet blocks all sight (even darkvision) within it and causes the ground in the area to be icy. A creature can walk within or through the area of sleet at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can't move in that round, while failure by 5 or more means it falls. The sleet extinguishes torches and small fires.
Arcane Materials: A pinch of dust and a few drops of water.

Mind Fog
Enchantment (compulsion, mind-affecting)
Level: 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 100 ft + 10 ft/level
Effect: Fog spreads in 20 ft radius, 20 ft high
Duration: 30 minutes and 2d6 rounds, see text.
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

Mind fog produces a bank of thin mist that weakens the mental resistance of those caught in it. Creatures in the mind fog take a -10 competence penalty on Wisdom checks and Will saves. (A creature that successfully saves against the fog is not affected and need not make further saves even if it remains in the fog.) Affected creatures take the penalty as long as they remain in the fog and for 2d6 rounds thereafter. The fog is stationary and lasts for 30 minutes (or until dispersed by wind).
A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the fog in four rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round. The fog is thin and does not significantly hamper vision.
 

One other potential adventure seed for the Order of Claus:

* "The Night The Reindeer Died": The Player Characters, in the midst of investigating a villainous faction, discover that this faction is developing a plan to attack the North Pole or any other major location of the Order. While the Order is not unused to being target to these kind of schemes, this one in particular seems to be prepared to cause a greater amount of damage than usual. Maybe the faction is even hoping that it totally ruin the holidays in one whole region, as either some kind of long-term plan to ruin the Order once and for all or a kind of shotgun effect to hurt one single target among the crowd (hey, the President of the United States can believe in Santa, too).

The Player Characters have to race against the clock to stop this attack, with the possibility that the climax of the adventure will take place in the final countdown before the attack begins (and is stopped just in time) or even that during the attack as it is happening, with the Player Characters joining forces with the personnel of the Order to fend off the hostiles.
