The
genre “Space Opera” is a very appropriate title, if you really
think about what operas are like. An opera is based entirely around
several key characters, and although there are sometimes very complex
plots, the focus is on the characters and how they respond to each
other and their circumstances, rather than focusing heavily on the
plot itself. It's fair to say that operas are character-driven
stories, and personally, these are my favorite types of stories, so
it makes sense that I gravitate far more to space operas than to hard
sci-fi stories. Solar Echoes is definitely a space opera, and as a
role-playing game it is also inherently character-driven; players
drive the story through their characters, and the GM adjusts the
story to their decisions as they play.
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.
