There are other scenarios that could
affect our assumptions that our future will involve constant
technological growth. Just one massive EMP (electro-magnetic pulse)
bomb dropped on us by our enemies would send us all back to the dark
ages. No more cars, no more smartphones, no more computers. We may
need to take survival lessons from the Amish, because if America
suffers an EMP bomb, it would knock out all electricity and
communication. Who is capable of this kind of attack? China,
terrorists, and our own sun. That's right, a solar storm would the
result of our sun having a large coronal mass ejection, and it has
happened before, on August 28, 1859. There are other instances, and
scientists are already saying we're do another one soon. These events
weren't catastrophic in the past because our civilization didn't rely
so heavily on electricity. But are we ready for the chaos that might
ensue if we were without it, even for a couple weeks?
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.
