For
a moment, think of your favorite books, movies, and TV shows, and try
to condense a basic plot into a single sentence. Here's an example
from a TV series I just watched: people are disappearing in a small
town because a deadly creature has been released from a parallel
dimension and it can only be stopped by the young girl that
accidentally opened the gate to its world. This very plot is from the
first season of a popular TV series that spans roughly 8 hours. A
simple, single-sentence plot was woven into an 8-hour story, and done
in such a way that I and a friend of mine separately watched all 8
hours straight through—we couldn't step away, it was so engrossing!
The plot on its own isn't incredibly compelling, though, but the way
the story was told, the pacing, the characters and other elements
that were involved made it something I couldn't walk away from.
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.
