The reptilian Krissethi are the easiest
race to imagine having a major societal focus upon entertainment,
next to humans, of course. Krissethi are all about materialism,
extravagance, and the pursuit of pleasure. Yet despite the obvious
forms of entertainment shared with the human race (gambling, games,
music, and movies to name a few,) the Krissethi's favorite pastime is
hunting. Krissethi are so serious about hunting that they have an
entire planet dedicated to the sport, where zones are partitioned for
different levels of hunting challenges against a variety of deadly
lifeforms. Reality shows dedicated to following some of the top
hunters have gained the highest popularity ratings among all
Krissethi broadcasts. The sport, however, is quite brutal, and
hunters are sometimes mauled by the very beasts they hunt, while the
public watches. Though other alien races consider the Krissethi sport
barbaric, it is hard to say that this form of entertainment is much
different than some of the darker portions of human history back on
their old world, when human gladiators fought to the death for the
enjoyment of others.
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.
