One of the
missions that was played this weekend involved approaching a
warehouse to apprehend a particular arms dealer. When the players'
team approached the building, they noticed some security robots
patrolling the area. One of the players had selected the “Robot ID”
talent when building his character, and he succeeded on his check: he
was able to determine the robot type, and in addition to knowing its
weaponry and capabilities, he was also aware of its weakness—sensors
that were over-sensitive to bright light. However, nobody had thought
to buy a flashlight when outfitting their characters, so the team
seemed as though they would be unable to exploit this small
advantage. Somebody suddenly came up with the great idea to park
their squad car facing the robots, and when the team was ready to
attack, they powered up the car's bright headlights. It worked, and
might have even saved a few lives because the robots rarely hit any
of their targets with their guns.
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.
