Another result of space combat is
mechanical failure. During space combat, enemies will attempt to
target vital starship systems such as a ship's engines,
communications, or life-support. Even if specific systems were not
targeted, hull breaches can quickly suck all life out of a starship.
Once the battle is over, starship damage needs to be addressed
immediately, and characters with engineering skills become vital to
survival. A damaged starship could be left drifting without
propulsion and risks collision with floating debris from the battle,
asteroids, or even an unplanned entry into a nearby planet's
gravitational field. If communications have been damaged or
destroyed, characters may be unable to hail a passing starship in the
distance for help. If life-support cannot be repaired, it won't be
long before the remaining oxygen and heat is depleted, and the
starship may soon become a floating tomb for the characters.
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.
