That's one scenario—running out of
power. It may be true, because the Semiconductor Industry Association
meets every year to discuss how transistors can be made smaller, and
they have recently conceded that they probably won't be able to get
any smaller than they are now. What does this mean? It means
computers cannot continue to get any faster than the current
transistors can handle—we may have hit a technological barrier, at
least, until a substitute technology can be made for transistors and
something else can power computer circuits. We live in an exciting
era, where new technologies are constantly emerging, but that may
change. We may see stagnation in technological advancement over the
next few decades, and our current era may be looked upon, in the eyes
of history, as a brief technological boom that died out with a
whimper.
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.
