The term “lifeforms” in Solar
Echoes refers to non-sentient organisms. These creatures are not
really capable of intellectual responses nor complex emotions. They
are the animals and vegetation of other worlds--the organisms that
populate and have adapted to various environments. Players in Solar
Echoes will likely spend most of their time in civilized areas,
dealing with other sentient alien races in a technologically advanced
setting, but some missions will take the players' characters to
remote, uncharted areas on bizarre new worlds where basic survival
skills will be put to the test. With all our technology today, we
still hear stories about hikers lost for days in vast wildernesses,
and often their rescue was possible because of their survival
training and instincts. Imagine crash-landing on an alien world with
no way to leave, only a few bullet magazines and energy packs for
your weapons, and a basic first aid kit. Without a survival guide
detailing the host of lifeforms indigenous to the planet you're
stranded on, your chances don't look good--there are a wide variety
of strange, alien beasts out there, just waiting to make a meal of
you!
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.
