Sometimes old Saint Nick needs to move with the times. With the number of
moonbases popping up around the galaxy, the benevolent gift-gifter was
finding that his standard sleigh and reindeer setup just wasn’t cutting it
any more. So, during the off-season, he set up a special team of elfs to
design and build a new sleigh, one that he could traverse the planets in.
The result is Santa’s Long Excursion Delivery, or S.L.E.D. (Okay, I admit it,
I watch too much iCodename: Kids Next Doori on Cartoon Network).
The S.L.E.D. features high propulsion engine pods on either side, plus an
additional rear engine for short-term flights.
Santa is outfitted in a specially made air-tight suit, complete with
air-tanks and tinted visor for deep space travel.
Knowing what a stickler for tradition Santa is, the elfs included an RUD-01-F
simulated reindeer navigation unit. Sensors on the unit help determine
air-speed, heading, and location, delivering the information to Kris Kringle
via bio-feedback cables, giving the old man the look and feel of a
traditional sleigh.
