We are still making new scientific
discoveries all the time, and sometimes find that our conclusions
about something are wrong. New studies into the brain of the octopus,
for instance, have shown unusual biological mechanisms at work that
are unexpected, such as an ability to edit proteins at the synapse
and spontaneously generate more complexity. Why then, if we do not
fully understand all the biological mechanisms at work on our own
planet, do we assume that we can understand what works on an entirely
different planet? Should we assume that all life is carbon-based?
Silicon-based life might also be possible, considering the
similarities to carbon at the atomic level. There might even be other
atomic structures out in space that we are entirely unfamiliar with,
with elements entirely different from those that we have on earth.
Although we certainly are able to recognize the components we are
familiar with here on earth when observing the universe while using
telescopes and other equipment, would we really be able to recognize
and properly analyze something different if we came across it?
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.
