Give them what they want. Maybe meeting
the aliens' needs isn't a bad trade when facing complete
annihilation. Do they want their friend freed from the probing
experiments at Area 51? Do they just want to siphon away some of our
oceans? Or maybe they are here to prevent us from activating the
Hadron Collider (too late) for fear that it will destroy the fabric
of the universe? Diplomacy can be an effective tool, but usually only
when you hold most of the cards. If aliens could wipe us out easily,
it is very unlikely that they will even bother to turn on their
translators to understand our pleas. But if we have something they
want yet can't easily take, or we know something they don't, we have
the beginnings of a possible agreement—an agreement that could, at
the very least, ensure that we continue to exist as a species.
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.
