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.

Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.

This is considered “risk management” instead of ethical consideration. Driverless cars currently aren't able to determine the age of a pedestrian or the number of occupants in a car, so MIT's Moral Machine consensus information is considered redundant regarding driverless car development.
