Cloning is another avenue towards
extending our existence. Already, the option to have your pet cloned
exists, and people are paying to have it done. Although human cloning
is still an ethical concern, it almost seems inevitable considering
the current state of ethical decline in our societies. If these
clones could be infused with our digital AI alter-egos, then we
really might be able to essentially “live forever.” In Solar
Echoes, cloning is our answer to character death, with DNA and
“neural mapping” samples providing the information necessary to
replicate a deceased character. However, with each successive clone
(copies made from copies), the clone begins to degenerate. Abilities
and skills may be lost or altered, and eventually, entirely new
personalities will take form. By the 9th generation of
cloning your character, you will be certifiably insane, and no
further cloning is permitted. Though it may seem like your character
has “9 lives,” it is highly recommended that you avoid death to
avoid the cumulative cloning penalties!
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.
