Technology has also affected the way we
make our decisions. With email, texting, and social media, it's easy
to share a concern or dilemma with others, and we often find
ourselves seeking feedback on possible choices before making a
decision. Have we lost our sense of self a little among all the noise
of our online acquaintances? Do we feel, perhaps, slightly less
capable of making decisions when it's so much easier to just bounce
things off those faceless others who are all too ready to share what
they think we ought to do? With easy access to social media, we feel
less accountable for our choices by relying on the feedback of
others, but have we now become more dependent on others? And why are
we even sharing the minutia of our lives with these online voices?
Some have said that social media has created a generation that is
more needy, where self-worth is sought online. Receiving a response
to a post in social media becomes an affirming experience, and having
a lot of followers begins to instill an over-inflated ego. When
people are posting daily, mundane activities and sharing this
information with friends and complete strangers, is it simply because
of boredom, or is it fueled by a need to feel significant? How is
this affecting people in the real world, socially?
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.
