Great planning and foresight can go a
long way in Solar Echoes. One of our players had served in the Navy,
and his careful planning and excellent tactics resulted in zero
injuries to his team and a complete capture of all the enemies. This
player utilized almost every resource available to him, and one of
his most effective tactics was positioning his team's squad car near
the garage of the warehouse, aiming the car's rotary canon at the
door. When one of the criminals attempted to speed away in his car,
the rotary canon made short work of the vehicle and the criminal was
brought to a screeching halt. Just this last weekend, another team of
players had the idea to sprinkle magnetic caltrops around the waiting
skimcar of their target. They first studied the four cars in the
parking lot and noticed that one was facing out, positioned so that
it would be ready to drive away quickly. They reasoned that this must
be their target, and judged correctly, because when some of the
criminals managed to get past the players' characters and jump into
their skimcar, the magnetic caltrops the team had sprinkled around it
were suddenly sucked into the anti-grav system when the car was
started. Though the team jumped into their own car to pursue the
criminals, it was a very short chase—after only two rounds, the
anti-grav system malfunctioned and the skimcar crashed into the
ground. The criminals were quickly captured.
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.
