Echo is in the galaxy called Apus Nemesis and it's an Earth-like planet but just 50,000 light-years away and a lot more advanced, meaning fly cars, large skyscrapers, holograms, hologram phones, hoverboards, etc. It is mostly made up of huge cities but there are still small towns here and there. Roads are pretty non-existent, mostly sidewalks and more in the poorer communities which when they are, they're narrow (barely two cars narrow).
It has four Alien Creatures Species (like animals) Arne, Baks, Bidos, and Drikats, and six normal Alien Species (like humans) Finduns, Hod, Lankot, Nik, Phils, and Sirix.

The back is covered in exoskeleton-covered hair, while the rest of the body is covered in armor plating. Yellow-green on one half and almond sandy brown on the other; thin chocolate brown lines separate the two, the rest of the body is light brown with grey rings. Males compete to impress females.
