Note Deryn Rys started a thread to discuss what the clikks are and this thread is to discuss the broader topic of Where and when and what happened to them. Deryn's thread is here:<br />http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/4329<br /><br />Zebs tells us the heliopes were abondoned on Starmist 950 PF or millenium ago and from the module it seems that the clikks never returned.<br /><br />That little fact suggest a civilization in decline.<br /><br />So what to do with the Clikks? dead and dying scattered remenants of a once great warrior culture?<br /><br />heliopes were a client species and they had tentacles; did the clikks have another client species with tentacles? A worm like client species perhaps? Did the sathar originate with the clikks and have effectively supplanted them?<br /><br />Do the clikks still exist?<br /><br />Who were the Clikks fighting? they built a bolo sized tank for a reason! If you need a super tank the size of a bolo or several city blocks then you have an enemy to match that. Speaking of bolos- the latter marks were used as planetary defense units capable of shooting into orbit with their main hellbore weapons. If the clikks were building tanks on that scale I'd expect that they used them in a similar manner. As a mobile planetary defense gun. This would suggest that their enemy may have been able to dominate in space or at least that it may have been cheaper to garrission planets with a few of these tanks rather then tie up their own fleet.<br /><br />heres another other posts on the clikks that I found:<br />http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/1533<br /><br />
