 December 13, 2010 - 7:30pm | I need a black silloutte of a clikk. Just the outline, anyone have something? (Of course if you have a full image that would be great but afaik, none exists) A typical Clikk female stands 3.7 meters at the shoulderwhile the male stands at 2.2. Both sexes have six limbs and a tough,exoskeleton. Its four rear legs allow the Clikk to move quickly. These legsalso give the creature excellent stability. |

 June 11, 2011 - 7:58am | A quad amputated Clikk, still has the four secondaries and two legs, but lost two legs and the main hooker arms... but it has a near-Vrusk appearence enough that given four legs and a pair of hooks, it could possibly pass for a Vrusk on a foggy night... ...perhaps the appearances of the Clikk are caste based... and some look more Vrusk like this one, and others more Starship-Troopers like the Klikk image... The Starship-Troopers Bug from the Alternity material makes me think of a more Queen Clikk appearence... A Clikk war-vet of a nasty fifteen decade war in the Sathar Revolt of Beta-37832 XIV-Iota-He'C'Sii San-Sampi... never got the promised regrowth treatments, as the systems Hivemother was lost to a faction of Elomi terrorists known as the Eternal Frall... His Hiveworld lost, His civilization in disarray, He was placed in stasis as the medical facility fell into neglect, and several decamillenniums of entropy had it's way with the world around him... Oh humans!!  We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".~ anymoose, somewhere on the net... so... if you square a square it becomes a cube... if you square a cube does it become an octoid? |
 June 11, 2011 - 8:14am | So do we like a starship troopers motif? It works for me since I believe I have some minis from that game. It also means we can. Co opt pics and art from that source which is a plus.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
June 11, 2011 - 7:33pm | @thespiritcoyote I have this image from an earlier version of Alternity. Is that more like what you expected? BTW I am still looking for the Klick Clack module, my house is more of a mess than I thought. http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/5429 Reasonable men adapt to the world around them; unreasonable men make the world adapt to them.

June 11, 2011 - 8:19pm | wow, I do remember that picture... obscure reference points go to jacobsar  I was getting the D20-Future Klikk image confused with being an in Alternity supplement, probably because we figured the names were more than coincidence, and we had them merged in a d20-Alternity-Frontiers-Universe that our group shared...  nice pic though, would add another caste to the pile if anyone wanted to use them that way, it does tie in with the others.Whats funny to me is how the most creepy eerie 'don't-want-to-meet-that-guy-in-a-dim-lit-pub' picture so far, is risking his neck to keep a crew alive... pathos points for the monster dude!! ethos for the artist knowing the genre!! and logos to not judging a monster's motives or an unexplained situation, by mere appearance alone... nice!

June 12, 2011 - 9:44pm | Has anyone considered the fact that the heliopes on Starmist are only primitive because they were dumped there after having a mind wipe? There must be space faring heliopes out there with a much more suffisticated culture. Perhaps they are free of the clikks now and constitute an aggressive warrior culture like the Klingons but will react xenophobically to the vrusk like the Romulans. Sort of a sometimes hostile NPC race. Having escaped the shackles of slavery to the clikk they will have no interest in being servants to the sathar and yet while that gives them something in common with the UPF it doesn't mean that they will be eager to sign up I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 June 13, 2011 - 4:30am | Whatever happened to the rest of the Heliopes is a mystery. Why the Clikks even bothered to mind wipe the ones they left behind unless they were planning on coming back for them one day is another mystery. Could be other Heliopes or other slave races out there and many good possibilities. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
June 13, 2011 - 4:38am | Yes many other slave races out there like the sathar perhaps? Is this a learned behavior? The clikk were master manipulators of the mind did the sathar inherit this ability from them? We've seen their penchant for developing a subject race in the Liberty system and in the zuraquor. No doubt they'd do the same to us in the Frontier if we gave them a chance. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Could be other Heliopes or other slave races out there and many good possibilities. The sathar were at one time a slave race of the clikks. They rebelled setting off a 101 year war that almost wiped out the clikks. The mind wipe was to protect the fleeing clikks from sathar aggression. Now the sathar on starmist are trying to unravel the purpose of this group of heliopes and where the rest of the clikks are. |
June 16, 2011 - 1:22am | Perhaps the klikks went BSG and fled the wrath of their own creation. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 June 17, 2011 - 8:18am | Liking this Clikk fleeing their Sathar slaves idea. If going that way, perhaps the Sathar would be the only link that could ever provide missing info on the Clikk race. Do I detect a raid on a Sathar museum or library adventure? My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |

Actually, I propose a n adventure outline in the Triad Institute of Technology thread for an TIT & AS adventure. Latter it occurred to that the Starmist module would make a logical sequel to the TIT &AS adventure with the location of
Starmist discovered in my adventure. Naturally the Starmist module needs to be tweaked to be used as a sequel but a trilogy module could follow with clues to clikk home territory being found in the tank or in some other artifact.
Yet a final clikk series adventure would need to have bigger stakes, bigger scope, potentially greater reward, and end with a really big bang. Running Starmist as a sequel to the TIT &AS adventure means that the referee does not have to blow the tank up with a nuke at the end to keep it from becoming PC property as its the TIT &AS teams mission to squire exactly that kind of artifact and bring it back to the institute.

I'm not trying to force you to join a project just trying to keep stuff organized; though If i could I'd move the clikk threads from the zebs expanded project to AZ gamer's clikk project. anyway- In the above link I listed all the examples of clikk tech that appear in the starmist module; I dont see that the clikk's tech is all that higher than the frontier is now. Now that is the tech of 600 years ago. So did their innovation stop 600 years ago or 400 years ago when they were wiped out? a bit of history will need to be decided on there.

June 18, 2011 - 8:26am | I'll definitely request membership on node/5423 jedi and move the thread there. Thanks. Just a quicky while still here though. Where I was going with my Clikk post was if someone were to write follow up adventures/modules to Sundown on Starmist, and if there were to be a greater danger in the adventure's sequels, I was playing with the idea that the Clikks (as an older, possibly ancient race) could have some mind blowingly advanced tech like: psionic projection helms or psi-guns (that turn frontier folks brains to goo, or enslave their wills). The Clikk weapons and tank were just "unimportant extra equipment/weight" that the Clikks chucked out the window in order to take off from Starmist; not in any way a representation of their best tech. This is of course just a local GM shooting from his hip. If the Clikks (or their tech) do not pose a serious threat, the character's could just flip off any follow up adventures after they leave Sundown on Starmist without consequence.

June 18, 2011 - 10:13am | @captain rags: great idea there the equipment we se there is for their slave/ client species. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
July 18, 2011 - 8:22pm | Guess what I stumbled on today? They're called "Killiks" from the Star Wars RPG. Wookipedia says they are an advanced race that is now extinct, and also that they left no artifacts. Seems to me that they left a few on Starmist, eh? (cough cough clikks) Oh, 'scuse me. Tickle in my throat. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
July 18, 2011 - 8:53pm | Cross-Universal threats 'tis whats I'z call 'em. Dang bugg-a-rey!  Are there more images of this so-called star wars race? |
July 18, 2011 - 10:05pm | There's a few. The first one I already posted, then there's a black & white sketch of the same color pic, and also this one. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
July 23, 2011 - 6:51am | nice find! they definitely have some similarities to the descriptions, but still not quite 'perfect' again an offshoot perhaps... Then again, if they really are that 'buggy' and highly advanced they may have extreamly high natural dimorphism... and engaged in severe trans-clikkan alterations over their history... Oh humans!! We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".~ anymoose, somewhere on the net... so... if you square a square it becomes a cube... if you square a cube does it become an octoid? |
September 1, 2011 - 3:18pm | Found the Klick Clack module. Scanned and OCRd it. Will post it. Thinking of starting a project for Alternity source material. More to come.

September 1, 2011 - 5:05pm | Ok. The Klick Clack module is now in the down load area of the Klick project. Heres the link: There are three files; one for the text, Ship diagram/map, and base. The text may need some work. Proof readers welcome. Reasonable men adapt to the world around them; unreasonable men make the world adapt to them. The world is changed by unreasonable men.

 December 15, 2013 - 10:24pm | I had a few Clikk on Laco's World. The PCs were hired to guard and carry gear for some scientists. They solved the mystery of the missing corpses from the graves - Sathar Cybots from a small remaining group. But, they ran into the Clikk in a large cavern system. They were able to beat them but, they caused a cave-in. It destroyed all proof. <convient>  |
December 15, 2013 - 10:36pm | I was planning an adventure where the PCs run into a Sathar Light Cruiser and Destroyer. BUT, instead of fighting - they are fleeing something. They show signs of battle damage. THEN...3-5 Clikk ships show up. They would have a general purpose - like the physiology of the Clikk - bridge, crew quarters, engines and seperate weapon pods (like pincers or like the early 22nd Century Star Trek ship). The weapons are railguns, fusion batteries, laser cannons and rocket + missiles (even electronic missile). The crew would include Heliopes with the rest being Clikks (75% female and 26% male). The Clikk were the ancient race greater then the Sathar, the slave race. My question is.... What is the interaction between the Clikks and Tetrarchs? How did they react to each other? The Clikks disappeared 1,000 years ago and Tetrarchs 1,500 years ago. Did they run into each other and what happened? |

Space is very big and 500 years is a long time - maybe they never crossed paths. I think that's a more interesting idea rather than try and make everyone know each other, if you see what I mean

December 16, 2013 - 4:13pm | Party pooper time. Space is big. Space in the Frontier not so much. Everything is much closer than in our arm of the Milky Way. Says so in the introduction. Time is long. 500 years is a long time. America isn't half that age yet. Then again the average age of the core four is longer. We have only just lost the last Core Four Human who was born during the Revolution and the Core Four Dralasites born at that time are just now moving into nursing debate halls. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
December 17, 2013 - 2:41am | I still think it's possible to keep things seperate. Otherwise it seems like it's a bit of kludge trying to make everyone know everyone else |
 December 17, 2013 - 10:15pm | I playtested some Alternity stuff for them back when it came out. I still play it today. The Klicks (Alternity) and Clikks (Star Frontiers) are not meant to be the same alien, despite the similar-sounding name, and the fact that they were both from science fiction RPGs created by TSR. The Klicks in d20 Future are meant to be the Alternity version (although the artist made them look like the Shadows from Babylon 5). I know this doesn't help define what the Star Frontiers Clikks are supposed to look like, but just thought I'd point out that we are actually talking about two different aliens here. |
