“Target last month disclosed the
theft of some 40 million payment card numbers in a breach uncovered
over the holiday shopping season, and later reported that 70 million
customers' records had also been taken.” Just like today, hacking
is a very real threat in the Solar Echoes universe to security and
privacy. The “Stream,” which is the name given to the internet
used across the worlds in the Union, is constantly being used by
outlaws to conduct theft, blackmail, espionage, and other crimes. The
Stream is much more segmented and compartmentalized than the internet
we are used to today, not only for obvious security reasons, but
because of knowledge the ISU has pertaining to a particular alien
threat. Security measures have been developed to deter hackers, or at
least slow them down enough that they cannot successfully perform
more damaging and wide-reaching attacks. This week, we'll discuss
some of the details about hacking and security in the Solar Echoes
universe.
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.
