Another defining characteristic of
space opera is its almost cinematic feel, with starship dogfights,
laser gun battles, and dramatic adventure. Colorful characters are
central and heroic in a space opera, and the plots usually involve
large-scale action with war, piracy, and the military. Commonly, the
setting has an optimistic tone and is written with characters that
are sympathetic. The stakes in the plots of space operas are often
very large, and quite often involve “saving the universe.” All of
these characteristics can certainly be applied to Solar Echoes, just
as they are obviously applicable to Star Wars. Though we didn't set
out to write in a specific sci-fi sub-genre, Solar Echoes fits quite
well into the category of space opera!
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.
