I ran another new
group of players through a couple missions this weekend, and it is
always exciting to see people try new things in Solar Echoes. The
players started by selecting the alien race they wanted to play, and
then built their characters together, making sure that they had all
bases covered between the three of them. One player, kind of an
Archaeloid pugilist, wanted to focus on combat almost entirely, so he
not only invested in firearms and melee skills, but in gunnery skills
for both terrestrial vehicles and starship combat. Another player, an
Omul hacker that enjoyed using robotic cyberweapons, spread his
skills around a bit more—he also was the group's pilot. The third
player, a sneaky Krissethi with some skills in persuasion, became the
team's eyes and ears when scouting and was also a rather effective
“face” (diplomat, con-artist). It was a very fun group, and their
team had many exciting, creative, and funny moments during the
mission.
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.
