The Air Force has the Pentagon working
on designing micro-drones that can secretly squirt their targets with
a signal-emitting powder or goo. This would be used to either track
the target and keep tabs on his movements, or possibly even serve as
coordinates for a hellfire missile. In Solar Echoes, the Archaeloids
designed the Tracking Rifle to compensate for their slightly lower
Reflexes than other races (and as a result, they have a chance to
miss more often.) Another weapon designed by the Archaeloids has an
entirely different function, however, and is somewhat similar to the
target painting that is being researched by the Pentagon. The Ink
Blaster is a small pistol that functions as a paint-ball pistol. Upon
impact, the ink-ball explodes and covers the target with a bright
purple ink stain. Not only is this visually obvious, but the ink
contains nano-tracers that can be tracked at a range of up to 2
miles. Once again, the innovative and persistent Archaeloids have
used technology to compensate for a weakness—this time, their
slower running speed.
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.
