Cryonics is one
area of study that has gained popularity among celebrities and
millionaires. The body, or even just the head, is frozen with the
expectation that future medical technology will someday exist so that
the individual can be medically resurrected. Though no such
technology exists, companies that perform freezing and preservation
procedures to "pause" or life insist that it is their
belief that improved technology will exist in the near future. This
"insurance policy" against permanent death will cost you,
though, with prices ranging from $28,000 to $200,000. Cryonics is
also being seriously considered for use in long, interstellar
journeys for astronauts, where the explorers would enter into a
"cold-sleep," only to be revived years later, without the
effects of cell aging.
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.
