Christmas Stars

A yearly event, Christmas Stars spawn between 24th December 000000 UTC to 25th December 235959 UTC. Christmas Stars only spawn on unoccupied space fuel tiles (meaning there is no planet, starbase, building, wreck, worm/x/y-hole on the tile), and not in the Pardus sector. Christmas Stars change locations frequently, so don't waste too many action points searching for them - instead just look at the Nav screen from time to time. Clicking on a Christmas Star results in a bonus being gifted to the player.
