The Villains of Solar Echoes

Most stories need an antagonist opposite the protagonist, and this is even more important in Solar Echoes—a game where you and your team play as Union Guard special agents on the side of the law. Just who are the villains in Solar Echoes, though? To get to know the major players, we have to start small. In a universe that involves FTL (faster-than-light) speed travel, known space is a very, very large area. The further one gets from civilized, well-traveled areas, however, it becomes more likely that the outer reaches of known space are a haven for criminals hiding out from the law. Small colony worlds far from populated regions and law-enforcement are more likely to be plagued with crime—unless the local population manages to establish their own crime-fighting forces. But it's safe to say the initial threats that UG agents will face involve your basic criminal elements: pirates, smugglers, hackers, gangs, and other fledgling criminal enterprises.
