Description:
Solar Echoes is a role playing game involving small unit tactics set in a science fiction universe, with a fast moving game system designed to promote team-play by allowing players to coordinate their moves and decisions together, react to opponents at any time, and see all actions occur simultaneously!
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.

How Solar Echoes is Different from other table-top RPG's:
FAST
No longer do you have to wait on your turn:
Players plan their movements and actions together without a prescribed turn order, and can react to anything whenever they choose. Rules are streamlined and the game is designed to move quickly. No more lengthy calculations, no more complicated die rolls---just a single opposed skill check with a little added luck from the dice determines success or failure.
TEAM
The game encourages tactics and team-play:
Players will find success is achieved by actively coordinating together as a team. “Soaking up damage” is not an option because there are no large hit point pools to chew through, instantly making team tactics crucial. Every system in the game is designed to involve all players working together.
FUN
Experience a variety of gameplay challenges:
Solar Echoes involves a range of scenarios including squad combat, starship battles, car chases, and even dialogue and hacking encounters. This is all conducted under an efficient and easy to learn game system.
