The Long Range Acoustic Device can be
used by our military to send a warning message to someone suspicious
that is approaching our troops. The device fires narrow beams of
sound waves and can be clearly heard almost a thousand feet away. If
so desired, the power can be augmented and a warning tone can be
projected so loudly that anyone in its path would have no choice but
cover their ears and run. In Solar Echoes, the Reln have
developed a similar weapon—the Reln Sonic Striker. The sonic
emitter on the weapon emits a loud burst of sound waves when fired,
and this burst causes everyone within 50 feet to suffer a -1 penalty
to all Skill checks for the following round. This technology was
inspired by the Reln's own ultrasonic screeching ability, where they
can naturally produce a high-pitched blast of sound harmful to the
ears of other creatures, causing temporary deafness and the “shaken”
condition (-1 to all Skills.)
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.
