Alien lifeforms (part 1)


The term “lifeforms” in Solar Echoes refers to non-sentient organisms. These creatures are not really capable of intellectual responses nor complex emotions. They are the animals and vegetation of other worlds--the organisms that populate and have adapted to various environments. Players in Solar Echoes will likely spend most of their time in civilized areas, dealing with other sentient alien races in a technologically advanced setting, but some missions will take the players' characters to remote, uncharted areas on bizarre new worlds where basic survival skills will be put to the test. With all our technology today, we still hear stories about hikers lost for days in vast wildernesses, and often their rescue was possible because of their survival training and instincts. Imagine crash-landing on an alien world with no way to leave, only a few bullet magazines and energy packs for your weapons, and a basic first aid kit. Without a survival guide detailing the host of lifeforms indigenous to the planet you're stranded on, your chances don't look good--there are a wide variety of strange, alien beasts out there, just waiting to make a meal of you!
