A
vital aspect of a good sci-fi story is the moment your characters
face a challenge. Sometimes the challenges your characters face are
interpersonal, and sometimes the challenges are more tied to your
plot. When you've established the world your characters live in, it's
time to let your characters act out their personalities in that
framework while dropping a few challenges in front of them and
writing how they respond. Let your characters react to events and
shape the plot itself, rather than rail-roading them down a
pre-scripted path. Writing a story is actually a lot like playing a
role-playing game, because players often do the most unpredictable
things and end up with a story to tell that is even more exciting
than you originally planned!
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.
