Toyr’diablo is a frontier world of the Dakota Republic, the planet harbors a single colony home to some 600 Dakota settlers and military personnel.

Details are sketchy regarding Toyr’diablo’s past, Union intelligence does know that the planet was first colonized in 2253 by Rinn Salvador a Dakota entrepreneur, who was leading a sponsored drive by the Dakota Senate to colonize frontier worlds.

It is said the very superstitious and devout Salvador named the planet after a red spot he claimed to see in the sky, ‘Toyr’ being Dakota for ‘Red’ and ‘Diablo’ being Salvador’s native Spanish for ‘Devil’.

Salvador setup Toyr’diablo as a scenic paradise in the Dakota Tourism Bureau and after contact with the Terran Imperial Union – the planet saw quite a lot of nature tourism.

However in 2294 with tensions dramatically increasing with the Union – the Dakota Military seized control of the planet and transformed the old tourist colony into a military base that would house the personnel there and their families.

This week has had a lot of exposure for Frontier, which has been a very good thing. Visioweb has given Frontier its very first review, and also Scifinal has listed Frontier amongst its web series. And also WCNews has as always been doing pieces on Frontier quite a bit these last two weeks.

In terms of Production, now that Part 12 is out, and also the new trailer and movie poster, I’ve been taking it easy, Part 13 needed a little bit of fleshing out on the dialogue, which has been done now and the lines have been emailed to all the appropriate voice actors.

At this stage Part 13 is in the pre-production stage. But we’re moving along.

So until next Saturday,

The U.S.S. Hazen Dunfee began her service supporting the Imperial 8^th Colonial Fleet, situated in the Korsor and Border L Sectors.

The Dunfee did not take part in the invasion of Hoyle, and was instead assigned with various other Union ships to continue patrolling the borders and maintaining perimeter defence.

The Dunfee saw her first real engagement with the disastrous debacle that was The First Battle of Toyr’diablo. There the Dunfee provided air support with her fighter and bombers squadrons; however when the battle turned into a nightmare after the early loss of the U.S.S. Canberra (SCG-2008) and the utter chaos that followed, the Dunfee took on all surviving fighters and escaped the system alongside the U.S.S. Astoria (SDD-1085) and U.S.S. Moray (SFG-844).

This week has seen the release of Part 12 as promised, I hope that everyone enjoyed the episode.

Now that the episode is out I will be looking at updating a few items on the site itself. I will be resuming the weekly item – however it will now be one a week, and it could be anything – a character, capital ship, small ship, planet, battle?  I will be updating some older profiles too, I will let you know here what has been updated when it happens.

I have also scene numbered the remainder of Frontier – Prelude to Darkness and the entire movie will number 61 Scenes – we have just seen Scene 25 with Part 12 so that gives you an idea of where the story progression is at the moment.

I have also put together a full new trailer for Frontier Prelude to Darkness – see it here.

So in the meantime, stay tuned – there’s much more to come.

A short announcement to say Part 12 has been released, alot of work on this had been done months ago along with Part 11 when they were both originally one part, due to time constraints, the part was split into two parts, so it meant that it was easy to get Part 12 released so close to Part 11.

See it here.
