Starship Locations to adapt Vanguards Space as full series

Like as for Cohnirri Space, Vanguards will also be adapted using Star Trek Playmates action figures. The production on that will begin after the first 'season' of Cohnirri and be set in the 2490s an another parallel Earth, with stars nearby. 

Some changes have occurred including a title change, just slightly, to avoid brand confusion. They will be free on YouTube.

Space Vanguards title is official as ship launches!

In February 1992, with only 50 minutes of a fan film called Star Crackers: The Sphere of Influence created, Browne and Yeager and friends, Cantrell and Buffkin, started something for legends.

Browne created five additional episodes of the story, with plans to make a series based on their pilot, but it never caught on.

He continued writing more 'episodes' until there were dozens of them into 1998, and all were compiled into books.

Then by 2005, Browne, Yeager and Cantrell returned to complete the film, while working as Kal Kat and Marx Cards on another series, Trans Tech, and also penned Prospectors, a sequel series, of which part became another novel.

In 2011, final voice over shots were added and Star Crackers the 90 minute fan film finally appeared in 2012 in several parts, and in 2014 completed, on Kal Kat show channels on YouTube.

Star Crackers languished since then, but those book volumes were not forgotten and were made ready for publication, but the name needed to be changed.

Just days ago, Browne and Yeager put up the new title, Space Vanguards USV and the ebooks online on Amazon! You can now buy them!

The three books will be detailed at a later time, but they are about The Sphere of Influence and other stories. Prospectors is also there!

Not bad for a quirky fan film.

Interviews on Kal Kat channel to follow.

Kal Kat will interview Browne, ha, on the launch day of the story, set for next month in time for convention month.

Could This be the New Title?

Star Vanguards seems to be the best choice for the new title of Star Crackers, the four part book series that will be out in 2019. Star Patrol was taken. Also by putting on an 's' it is not confused for the security company, or the printing company.

The story will follow the misadventures of the starship Vanguard and its crew of barely competent space cops as they investigate strange rebels, discover ancient alien artifacts, and political uprisings by equally inept villain pirates and other riff raff.

Adam Browne and Jon Yeager will use their real names on the book covers.

Vanguard crew goes to space in 2019

Tentatively, there is no title for the four book Star Crackers series but it will be renamed.

The film on YouTube will remain the same.

Curiously, there is some confusion with a new alien race in Star Trek Discovery (as Browne and Yeager seem to predict a lot of Star Trek over the past 30 years), and there is a Red Angel in the new season!

Red Angel in the Star Crackers film is not an alien, but an ancient abandoned star system where a ring of debirs makes it look like a halo, hence the name, thought up in 1992 by Yeager.

The term has been used in other science fiction though, and it sis not something just from Star Trek.

The alien races in the Star Crackers film had been destroyed long ago, so that when humans activated the sphere device, they could not turn it off until getting to the system.

The novels include this star system.

They will not be changing the name of the star system, because it's not similar.

Maybe they will work something out in 2019, and make a deal to also release Starship Chimera.

The upcoming Sillian stories seem to imply there is something going on. They are not Star Crackers.

So the space patrol forces of Clerk and crew will be back in 2019, under another title.

Name change due to other Star Crackers

Kat and Cards, or Browne and Yeager, are going to rename the Star Crackers books due to confusion with a brand of cereal.

The 2012 completed film may remain called Star Crackers and will not be changed, as it technically was made before the cracker company.

They cannot use Vanguard Star or Joshua Brawn either, but can use Vanguard for the name of the ship.

They joked that it should be called Space Cops, after the YouTube Red Letter Media movie Space Cop, but it won't be. That would make them hacks.

Also a cracker is slang for a white hick and a bit too on the nose for that sphere star story where they literally crack through it.

The new name and release are to be announced.

Star Crackers is coming in 2018

Star Crackers returns in 2018, but no date has been set yet, as delays have pulled the release back, partly to get a publisher, and all that. The books will be out consecutively.
