Not only are we at risk from rogue
hackers, but our own government has been exposed by Edward
Snowden—the NSA has been listening. The government required Verizon
on an “ongoing, daily basis” to hand over information on all
telephone calls in its systems in the US. The communications of
millions of US citizens were being collected indiscriminately,
regardless of whether they were suspected of any wrong doing. Other
private information, such as a government list of gun owners, was
published in a New York newspaper—this database was legally
obtained from the county clerks' offices through the Freedom of
Information Act. Mysterious fake cell phone towers have been
discovered across the country, intercepting calls all over the US.
Whether the government or a private group is behind this, it is a
safe bet that your phone conversations are not just between you and
the other person on the line!
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.
