Melroy, the deputy director of DARPA's Tactical Technologies Office,
is an aerospace engineer and former astronaut. She believes that
there will be a time in the near future where just a few simple words
or the push of a single button will activate machines far more
efficiently than using a keyboard or an archaic voice-recognition
system. For example, landing an aircraft currently requires an
involved series of steps that must be performed in proper sequence
with perfect timing, but in the future, landing an aircraft (or even
docking a spacecraft) may be as simple as saying, “Prepare for
landing.” The computer will not only understand those words, but
will perform all the necessary, complex steps to complete the
command. Of course, considering that we are looking at self-driving
cars in the future, it is quite possible that we won't need pilots 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.
