What will our future be like, and how
will law enforcement take advantage of developing technologies? One
disturbing possibility involves research into psychoactive drugs that
distort peoples' sense of time. We've heard of criminals that have
committed unspeakable crimes being sentenced to several lifetimes in
prison, but if injected with certain drugs, these criminals may
experience distorted time in their minds and feel like they are
serving a 1,000 year sentence. Some argue that this could save
taxpayer money and prison space—criminals would suffer these
seemingly long sentences in only a few days—but such punishments
bring up serious ethical questions, even if these sentences were
reserved for only the very worst criminals. However, as we look at
the history of the human race, we unfortunately have a pattern of
testing ethical limitations in the name of “progress.”
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.
