Just a thought but could the star Frontier's Clikks really be the same creatures as in Alternity (Another TSR product) in which case it would be feasable to expand the frontier using the Star Drive game system. I saw a Frontiersman article that presented the Alternity races in Star Frontier's terms (great article by the way) and perhaps the Klikks and the other externals are the tetriarch societies that were mentioned in zebs guide. I've always seen Star Drive as sort of TSR's attempt to bring Star Frontiers into Alternity, what with the verge being just an expanded version of the Rim and all. I know that there's a wealth of Alternity material floating around, and someone actually made conversions for Star Frontiers to Alternity, so I'm sure that it could also be used to turn Alternity characters to Star frontier's stats. Imagine if beyond the great expanse lies the Concord and the other sphere's of control, just waiting for the human's of the Frontier to come bac to the fold. Has anyone else thought about this?

I often thought of the clikks being the klikks. The lack of detail given in the SF cannon for the clikks works in favor of this. I agree that the "Alternate Frontiers" article is a very good one. It fleshes out the core four races and even names the home planet of the Vrusk. I do feel, however that the campaign setting of the Alternaty game is at a higher level of tech than the standard frontier. Perhaps the setting is simply a hundred or more years further along than SF.

Actually according to D20 Future Both Star Drive and Star Frontiers are PL 7 though Star Drive might be bordering closer to PL 8, but whose to say that because of the Fraal influence the Technical advances in the Concord are just a little more advanced then in the Frontier. It would be kind of cool to imagine the Sathar ticking off the Klikks, and having to come running to the Frontier begging for help because they angered the one of the founders. Or having a Frontier ship misjump into the Verge and the Yazirians aboard ticking off a group of Werren. Hell it might even be that the Klicks deposited the Humans in the Frontier to see how they would evolve far away from Sol. Adding Star Drive into the Frontier raises a lot of interesting possibilities...(must think more about this...)

I just got a submission for the Clikk race. Not sure if it will be in #16 or #17. :-)

Clikks are described as having a similar physical appearance to the Vrusk, hence the subconscious actions of the Heliopes to keep their distance from Vrusk PCs.
