After industrial societies have
advanced, they can be classified as space-faring societies. This type
of civilization has begun to move its population into space, for
whatever reason (exploration, overpopulation, fleeing persecution,
etc.) Other planetary bodies within the same star system are
colonized, often with terra-forming technology that can provide
habitable environments. Such efforts are usually possible when
powerful nation states are allied, because wars and the threat of
conflict tend to reallocate resources away from space-related
endeavors. Consider our own stage of civilization: It is notable that
NASA space programs have been seriously dismantled while private
industries are beginning to emerge. Plans to establish a colony on
Mars are not from the government but from the private sector. It is
hard to imagine our current government allocating funds towards the
space program when so many other issues abound, so it makes perfect
sense that the private sector would begin to self-fund these
projects. Private industries may be the answer for the space program,
rekindling an enthusiasm for space exploration that seems to have
been forgotten in the last few decades. Is our own society beginning
to approach the means of becoming a space-faring society?
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.
