Our future already involves robotic
upgrades to the human body—amputees use robotic prostheses in place
of their limbs, and these mechanical appendages are linked directly
into a person's nervous system to function in response to the owner's
thoughts. Right now, such replacements make sense for those without
limbs, but it won't be long before people are actively choosing to
upgrade themselves. What will we do when athletes decided to replace
parts of their body with more powerful, robotic substitutes? Will we
judge athletic events with the same standards that we do now? It is
foreseeable that the military may begin to require certain robotic
upgrades or implants in their soldiers. It is even possible that
government-run health care may begin to mandate robotic replacements
for certain health-related situations. The more technology advances,
the more it will be integrated into our lives, and possibly our
bodies. Is this a future we are ready to embrace?
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.
