There are many debates as to what
actually constitutes a story as science fiction or fantasy. Though
this is a large argument in itself, suffice it to say that fantasy
usually involves a world governed by laws that are different those of
our own world—often these laws are called “magic” in a fantasy
world. Science fiction attempts to stay grounded in reality,
projecting forward with what “might be” based on developing
technologies and discoveries while staying within the physical laws
of our universe. Sometimes, however, the two genres begin to blend.
Though some would argue that the Star Wars movies are science fiction
because of the starships and laser blasters, others would insist that
it is fantasy, due mostly to the presence of “the force,” a
psychic ability than manifests through mind control and telekinetic
powers. While it is fairly obvious that “the force” could easily
be considered magic, somehow the concept of tiny, micro-robots that
create matter seems more realistic to us than Darth Vader's mastery
of the force. Why is that?
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.
