This last weekend I met someone at a
party, and initially I thought I had nothing in common with him. He
was a single, twenty-something, put-together guy who I learned was a
lawyer in Seattle. I live on the East Coast, I'm involved in the
arts, and I'm married with a teenage daughter. The small talk spun
along the usual routes and began to traverse the familiar, awkward
path where we both realized we couldn't relate to each other and were
struggling to keep the conversation going. Yet unexpectedly, he
mentioned that he was interested in the video game industry, and was
a gamer himself. Suddenly, we were talking like we were old college
buddies, mentioning our favorite video games and gaming consoles,
talking about the trials of building our own gaming PC rigs, and
discussing our longings to find work in the video game industry at
big companies such as Bethesda Softworks and even Nintendo. All of this could have happened over a
shared interest in football instead of video games, but I've
experienced it before with a wide range of people. There's just
something different about connecting with someone over an interest in
gaming...
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.
