We make a lot of assumptions in life,
and one of the biggest errors we've made throughout history is
assuming things aren't going to drastically change. That complacency
is often what allows for the changes to occur, because people won't
admit to themselves what is happening, and fail to stand up to it
until it is too late. What can we do, though, about an EMP
catastrophe or a financial meltdown? Not much, but some—those we
call conspiracy theorists or survival nuts—some have already
planned for it. It's hard to say what to do, though: you can buy up
gallons of water, non-perishable food, hand-crank radios, and have
the full “bug-out bag” ready for a crisis. You can take a stand
against government and corporate policies that might eventually lead
to these kinds of changes by your votes. Or you can find comfort in
the predictability of your life so far, because who knows, maybe
everything will be fine—Chicken Little has said the sky was falling
before (Y2K, anyone?) and nothing happened.
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.
