Some alien lifeforms are outright
predators—the kind that wouldn't just inadvertently target a
character because he happened along. These predators range from the
stealthy mammalian (but poisonous) Rock Creeper to the ice-skating
Thalon, a creature that streaks across icy surfaces and rams into its
victims with deadly tusks. Some threats come from above, such as the
winged beast with a blade-like tail known as the Slicer. Others
emerge from below, including the tentacled, amphibious nightmare
known as the Kabulehkanja. Alien predators use a variety of methods
to capture or kill their prey, and though some use common methods
such as clawing or biting attacks, others use more bizarre forms. The
appropriately-named “Firespitter” squirts a highly combustible
saliva onto its victims, which it then ignites by expelling a
flammable gas in the area. Another, extremely deadly lifeform from
the Voidsea phases in and out of our dimension, dragging captured
victims with it and then phasing them back in to solid objects. The
universe is a dangerous place—many brave pioneers have fallen
victim to the deadly alien lifeforms that populate the unknown. We
should never take our expanding civilization for granted!
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.
