Serial Experiments Lain, Texhnolyze,
and Ergo Proxy are some of the darker anime shows that I've seen, and
concepts from all of these have filtered into Solar Echoes in some
way or another. An integrated internet, cyberware as limb
replacement, and corruptible robot AI's are all present in the Solar
Echoes universe. Hackers and those that assist them must tap into the
“Stream” using a neural relay device. Prosthetic, robotic limbs
can afford cyber-enhanced individuals greater speed or strength.
Robotic specializations can allow skilled engineering-types to defeat
robots by sending infectious code across a network to create a
personalized, robot army. Though I can't say these concepts were
directly taken from the aforementioned anime shows, these worlds aren't entirely disparate.
Great sci-fi anime, if nothing else, certainly resonates with similar
themes.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
