Last year on Black Friday, shoppers
innocently used their credit cards at Target, only to discover later
that Target had been hacked and those credit card numbers were
stolen. I was one of them. Thankfully, I managed to cancel my card
before anyone used it, but others were not so lucky. From August
through September this year, the same thing happened at Staples.
Where can we shop safely these days with our credit cards? Must we
begin to carry around wads of cash again? Our way of life is being
frequently threatened by hackers. They steal our credit card numbers,
they can get into our email, and they can destroy our computers.
Security is not keeping up with this growing threat—for every
security measure taken to protect against hackers, the hackers work
tirelessly to thwart it. Prevention is almost always achieved in
response to an incident, rarely in anticipation of one. What does the
future hold for us?
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.
