Despite all the excitement that the
mystery at KIC 8462852 has spawned, we need only look at our tendency
over the years to let our imaginations run wild. How many images of
Mars have excited people hoping to find aliens? The Mars rat/iguana,
rocks that look like a monk or cloaked figure, and even the alien
“toltec” face in the rock formations. We're almost as good at
imagining images in Mars rocks as we are at seeing them in our own
planet's clouds. Considering that the presence of water on Mars and
Europa makes it slightly more possible that some kind of organism
might exist beyond earth, we still have found no evidence beyond the
water itself and our own biased assumptions that water is necessary
for life. As long as scientists and astronomers keep their findings
based on actual data and not on their imagination, the cause for
excitement is genuine. Just what is it out there, on KIC 8462852,
that is randomly blocking the light of that sun?
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.
