Another
question to ask is whether our technological advancement is achieving
its full potential. If not, what factors might be negatively
influencing this potential? Government intervention through
regulations, the resistance of technological implementation by unions
concerned about job loss, and even the re-purposing of technology
towards areas in which it will not flourish or come to full
fruition—all of these contribute to the slowing of advancement.
Other concerns involve the length of time it takes for technology to
move into our culture, and this can be affected in a number of ways.
Consider the time it sometimes takes technology to move from early
adopters to mainstream use, or the time required to build particular
infrastructure to support new technology (for example, car charging
stations are still not prevalent in the U.S.) How is one to
accurately measure the rate of technological advancement, especially
when all these and other factors are considered?
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.
