Are we finally entering the age of
laser guns? The Navy has high-powere laser technology, known as LaWS
(Laser Weapons System), which it has successfully used to take down
airborne targets. China also has laser weapons, which it has tested
with a 100% hit rate in shooting down drones. The U.S. Army is
testing the High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) and has
successfully shot down 150 mortar shells and small UAVs during tests.
Both the HEL MD and the Chinese laser currently uses a 10kW laser,
though Army has plans to upgrade to more powerful lasers in the
future. Are we going to be seeing portable laser guns next? They
won't look like the laser blasters in Star Wars, however—lasers
fire at the speed of light, which is too fast for the human eye to
see.
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.
