In the future, we
may see clones lobbying for equal rights and the right to marry
clones or non-clones. This brings up questions of genetic
degeneration. Would marrying a clone result in more frequent birth
defects? Would clones marrying clones produce even more genetic risk
to the clone-family child? In the Solar Echoes universe, if your
character dies, he can be cloned, though with each successive
cloning, he will degenerate until eventually it will be genetically
unsafe to copy another copy. Your character, each time he is cloned,
will sustain skill loss and personality changes until the last
allowed, ninth generation of cloning, which produces a clone that is
entirely mentally unstable. This can be a fun challenge to role-play
in a game, but in reality, we don't yet know the genetic implications
of repeated cloning. This perfectly sets the stage for yet another
ethically questionable science lurking upon the horizon of of our
future: genetic engineering.
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.
