Google tracks
everything you do on the internet, including what you type in those
gmails you send. Many other companies do the same, and it is all
supposedly intended for "market research." Yet considering
that the NSA and other government organizations have a history of
listening in on our conversations and monitoring our online activity,
it is even more disconcerting to realize that, because of the sheer
volume of information, these organizations rely on complex computer
programs that sort through and decipher the data. Predictive
technology is a part of this--patterns are analyzed and certain
online behaviors or word usages bring up red flags that warrant
closer monitoring. Mention the word "militia" and you'll be
flagged (though supposedly, "jihad" is not on the word
watch-list and gains no such attention.) A computer program is
watching and listening, telling authorities whether or not you look
like you could be a threat. Oops, I just used one of those
blacklisted words...*waves*
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.
