New Alliance Boss: Crazed Santa
*''Nicholas "Santa" Klaus loved Christmas. He loved decorating trees, wrapping presents, drinking eggnog, and eating mince pies. Above all else, he loved playing Santa at his local mall, bringing smiles of delight to thousands of young faces. But that was before Kill-Tech purchased ad time on children's programming across human space, and announced that Father Christmas wasn't real -- because their marketing department had discovered a link between ruined childhoods and the buying of large amounts of devastating weaponry later in life. This dubious corporate strategy has made Nicholas lose his senses. Now he's running around firing his blasters and generally acting like a maniac. You should stop him, before someone gets hurt...''
*This is a large, 100 person alliance raid.
*There is no cooldown for this raid.
*You can acquire the Santa's List collection item, which is one of the ingredients needed to upgrade Greasemonkey, Wollo, Dacia Ulex and Lork Jral Bul.
*It's classified as organic humanoid, human, male and alliance.
*More alliance raids next week! Have fun!
