Imagine what you would have felt like
if the first Star Wars movie (episode IV) kept introducing
characters, but never came back to any of them? We'd meet the droids,
princess Leia, Darth Vader, Luke, Ben Kenobi, Han Solo, etc. but if
new characters were continually introduced and never developed, we'd
be overwhelmed and eventually ask ourselves, “What is the point?”
Yet, if the opposite happened and we were only introduced to Darth
Vader and the entire series of 6 movies was focused entirely on him,
it could get a little boring. The fact that the story shifts around
among the different characters and we get to see them develop and
grow—that's a large factor in keeping the story balanced, between
familiar material and new material. If the characters stayed the same
and never developed (for instance, if Luke was always a whiny teen or
if Darth Vader remained an unwaveringly evil asthmatic) things would
get predictable and uninteresting. We need balanced amounts of
change, and discovering that a character can grow and develop makes
for some great excitement and intrigue!
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.
