Essentially, objects inside the warp
bubble are not moving faster than light, so they do not violate the
laws of relativity. Therefore, objects with mass (like a spacecraft)
inside the bubble are not subject to the effects of moving faster
than light speed, such as time dilation. One problem previously
believed to stand in the way of the Alcubierre drive is that the
amount of energy required to achieve all this would be impossibly
large. How large? A minimum amount equal to the mass-energy of planet
Jupiter! However, new calculations by NASA scientist Harold White
suggest that changing the mass into something similar to the shape of
a donut could power a warp drive with a mass near the size of the
Voyager 1 probe, and the intensity of the warps could be oscillated,
which would further reduce the energy requirement! Little by little,
the impossibility of FTL is being chipped away by new discoveries and
theories. It is no longer looking like an impossible dream for humans
to leave our solar system, and someday, even our own galaxy!
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.
