When we look at some of the
technological advances in recent years, they might not seem as
groundbreaking as they really are. We've quickly grown accustomed to
smartphones, for example, and an entire younger generation is growing
up with them assuming society has always been this way. Kids born
only a decade earlier may remember a time without smartphones, but
can't imagine what it was like before the internet. And a couple
decades before that, the availability of home video game consoles and
home computers was just beginning to develop. Technology is moving
fast, yet it is difficult for us to look a decade or two forward and
really have a good idea about what is coming. Many technological
developments--such as the smart phone or home computer--involved
entire paradigm shifts by visionaries like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
(who made home computers more accessible with Windows). It's doubtful
that even they saw the huge changes our society would undergo with
their innovations and the developments of others. Looking ahead ten
or twenty years, can we accurately foresee what our society will be
like, with all the fast-moving technological developments we've been
seeing hints of today?
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.
