Don't try too hard to be creative or
original. If you feel you have a lack of ideas and your attempt to be
creative is to do something extreme, keep in mind that extreme or
weird doesn't necessarily equal creative. I have seen children do
this before in art projects, where they can't come up with anything
but desperately don't want to do what everyone else is doing, so they
do something that is so odd it ends up being worse than if they had
just stuck with the mundane. Creativity can't be forced, and often,
it emerges from the ordinary. As an exercise, imagine a scene from a
movie or a story you've read, and imagine things playing out
differently because of a small variation or problem that occurs. You
can try writing your own straightforward situation and then think of
an “alternate history” butterfly-effect event that could send
things into a totally different direction. Start with small
variations, and work from there, instead of throwing a sudden, huge
twist into the mix.
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.
