Was wondering in the shower about the source of the UPF's knowledge about the klikks- The starmist mod has a story arc and doesn't go into deep detail about the klikks- where did the name klikk come from anyway? Was it the name used by the brain wiped heliopes? Could be they were brain wiped. How do we even know they were brainwiped? And just why were the sathar there anyway? I know the module give an excuse but really are we going to buy that? they could easily have established a similar facility on a less hostile envrionment planet or even deeper in sathar space to prevent discovery by the UPF and Space Fleet.<br /><br />So here's my thought: we the community of Star Frontiers fans have some sketchy details about the klikks but they are details that we should presume that are known to the UPF or Space Fleet, even if classified top secret so how did this knowledge come to be in the hands of the UPF? We can hand wave that and just say that in the aftermath of the Starmist mod that experts generated this information. But I think there is room for a Midnight on Starmist sequel that delves into the mystery of the klikks.<br /><br />1. First thing to do is to identify just what information is referee background about the klikks and what information the PCs (not the players) discover in the course of the Starmist adventure. <br /><br />2. Identify the talking points for what mysteries the PCs will uncover, have a database (file computer from Zebs) that was owned by one of the sathar agents fall into the PCs hands and have files that reveal the sathar were greatly concerned about the klikks and were looking for something on STarmist<br /><br />3. Craft a Temple of Doom adventure where the PCs discover a klikk armory/installation on starmist. In this adventure the PCs unravel mysteries surrounding the klikks and deal with an ancient klikk threat.<br /><br />BTW the fiction in a recent SFman called "Bug Hunt" that was an interesting cross between Call of Cthulu themes and Star Frontiers was a very interesting take on the Klikks and would be worth considering as a guide for klikk attitudes and philosophy.
