Can we even take
sci-fi seriously if it doesn't involve dystopic themes? The
entertainment industry doesn't seem to think so, considering the
conspicuously non-existent utopian stories in novels, TV series, and
movies. Perhaps Agent Smith from the Matrix was right—do we “define
our reality through misery and suffering?” The next time you turn
on the “news” and listen to the various stories, take note of how
most of them are negative. When you get together with your friends or
family, do you find yourself updating your complaint list? It's
difficult for us to deviate from these patterns because this is the
society we live in and these are the habits we have grown accustomed
to. Maybe it is unfair to blame sci-fi for being so dystopic. Doesn't
it reflect real life?
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.
