It has always
interested me that cloning in science fiction seems to assume that
clones will be mental copies of the source. Clones are essentially
twins, and we know twins, though similar, are unique individuals with
their own separate experiences and personalities. If we could
actually copy a person's "brain print," though, perhaps
clones would also be mental copies of the source, at least up to the
point of copying. From that point, experiences would diverge and the
copy might end up a different person entirely, given time.
Considering all this, copying ourselves might be possible, though the
original source would continue and eventually die separately. The
copy, unless somehow engineered to be younger, would probably not
exist much longer either.
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.
