Now, this is just my personal
observation (I have no research to back it), but I’d like to
suggest that games are effective at breaking social barriers,
especially with males. Put a few guys that don’t know each other in
a room together without anything to do, and its extremely likely that
they will quickly pull out their smartphones and sit there in total
silence, never talking. Guys rarely seem to feel comfortable talking
to each other unless they have some kind of shared activity. This can
even be true among guys that are friends! Yet games provide a
shared, goal—suddenly, anti-social tendencies dissipate because
gamers have something in common. And it doesn’t just stop there,
either—how many times have you gathered together with friends to
play a game, and the game becomes second to entertaining
conversations and joking around? Games are truly an “ice-breaker,”
so if you are ever worried about a social event going well, throw in
some games!
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.
