PROLOGUE
At the dawn of the 30th century, after five hundred years of unity and fellowship,
dolphin and man set out from the Earth to explore the great unknowns of space.
But where man and dolphin founded a civilization of peace, others based theirs on
strength, conquest, and domination. And, even as man and dolphin went out from
the Earth, a sinister Foe cast envious eyes upon it. For the Earth was a prize
beyond measure, a pristine world to be cherished or exploited.
But the Earth was not defenseless. The mighty Guardian -- the greatest creation of
dolphin kind -- shielded it with its power.
Undeterred, the Foe persisted, probing for a moment of weakness they were certain
must come.
It was in this time that a dolphin named Ecco arrived to the Isle of the Guardian,
seeking to learn from the scholars of peace, but destined to be the only hope and
champion of the Earth.
