The Formation of the InterStellar Union (part 1)


The Solar Echoes universe was inspired by our own history—the history of humanity. We looked at patterns from our past and tried to project what we thought was likely to happen if mankind spread into space. The Solar Echoes universe involves six additional alien races to humans, but we felt all the races would have similar reactions when they discovered each other. Curiosity, suspicion, distrust, fear, and aggression seemed likely responses, but on a larger scale, we tried to imagine what each race would do if they discovered faster-than-light (FTL) speed technology. As soon as man made boats, what did they do? They sailed, as far as they could go, exploring and finding new lands, which they eventually sought to conquer. Throughout history, we have expanded and conquered. This has almost always guaranteed one thing: war.
