It is not a stretch to imagine what the
next step might be to having left an AI representation of ourselves
behind. Loved ones, or possibly even someone new that meets our
digital-self online, may become so involved with the AI that they
look to a physical manifestation of the AI. Most businesses are built
around serving a popular need, and if such a need is expressed, we
may one day see robots that bear our digital personalities,
performing with the AI we originally seeded with our information. A
new generation of robotic avatars may come into existence, where
loved ones are now back, “in the flesh.” What rights will we
afford these robotic mirrors of our former selves? Humanity will most
certainly one day have to decide where AI fits within our society,
especially considering that the singularity (the moment when computer
AI exceeds collective human intelligence) is predicted to occur well
within the next 50 years, with some saying it may happen as early as
2027.
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.
