What other
inventions have been inspired by science fiction writers? The
inventor of the modern helicopter, Igor Sikorsky, was inspired by
Jules Verne, who had written about them in his story, “Clipper in
the Clouds.” Sikorsky often quoted Verne: “Anything that
one man can imagine, another man can make real.” Robert H. Goddard
was the American scientist who built the first liquid-fueled rocket
in 1926, and he attributed his inspiration to H.G. Wells, saying that
he became fascinated with spaceflight after reading the 1898
newspaper serialization of “War of the Worlds.” Goddard said the
concept of interplanetary flight “gripped my imagination
tremendously.”
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.
