Another aspect of our society that
might shift is something that was already bound to happen
someday—online shopping and deliveries becoming the standard. Why
go to the store when you can pay a little extra to have it delivered?
Many businesses have begun delivering when they didn't before, and
the demand has created new jobs for people willing to run the
deliveries. Uber and Amazon have both been looking at using automated
drone systems, and these endeavors will only be encouraged by what
has been happening with the pandemic. Although it is still years
away, I think that 3D-printing will also become a part of our
isolated future, where the deliveries of some purchases will become
obsolete because we can just print the items we bought online through
a 3D-printer at home. As there become more reasons to stay indoors,
certain technologies will advance to the point that we will be
encouraged to be even more isolated. We've already reduced the number
of phone calls we make and exchanged talking with texting, so more
isolation feels like the next natural stage of our society. During a
pandemic, this is good practice. But is it what we want for our
society in the future?
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.
