How many of you would consider yourself
an introvert? Wow, ok, a lot of you. Now let's add to that those of
you who were too shy to even admit you're an introvert. Despite what
we may think (or might have been told based on a 1960 estimate that
has circulated the internet for decades), introverts are not in the
minority in our society. Based on a random sample conducted by the
Myers-Briggs organization in 1998, 50.7% of the population in the
U.S. are Introverts! Yet why is everything, from class participation
to college and job interviews seemingly based on having the
characteristics of an extrovert? Those that talk a lot are often
those that are picked for leadership positions over people who talk
more sparingly. We teach our kids to be more assertive, to speak up,
but as a result, introverts often struggle to defy their natural
state of mind in order to be accepted in a society that judges them
rather harshly for being quieter than others. And now, there is
research that this condition can be “cured...”
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.
