The difference between role-playing
games and just about any other game out there is the chance to
develop a character and act out his or her personality. Creating an
interesting character in a science fiction universe is an exciting
opportunity, especially considering that there is a wider range of
options than in most other scenarios. Characters can be shaped not
only by the society they grew up in or the racial make-up of their
surroundings, but also by their home planet, its sun, and how far it
might be from other civilized worlds. Consider the Reln, for
instance—they grew up on a planet resonance-locked with its sun,
forcing them to endure harsh weather and dangerous levels of
radiation. Not only has this environment shaped their physiology, but
the Reln are not exactly outdoors-types as a result. Their level of
education rivals all of the other races and they are extremely
well-spoken, in addition to being one of the most technologically
advanced races in the Union. The variety of alien races in Solar
Echoes alone provides a unique starting point for designing an
interesting character, but that is just the beginning...
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.
