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.

Designing Unique Characters in a Science Fiction Universe (part 2)
In many RPG's, it is easy for the players' characters (the heroes of the game) to have a tendency toward single-minded, flat personalities. Characters quickly fall into a pattern of sharing all information together and generally agreeing on everything. To avoid this in Solar Echoes, it is important to understand how each of the races view the universe differently. For example, the plant-like Erwani are extremely patient and are always playing the “long game,” willing to sacrifice and suffer losses if their ultimate goals will be met in the end (and for this reason, many who fail to discern that foresight simply conclude that the Erwani are just “lucky” when things somehow always seem to work out for them.)
