If you have not heard about NASA’s EM
drive, it is the current center of speculation regarding the
possibility of FTL. An EM drive, or Electromagnetic drive, is a new
method of powering a rocket through space. Traditionally, past
methods of powering rockets have been designed to use something as a
propellant to push the rocket through space, but the EM drive
eliminates that altogether. The basis of its design involves bouncing
microwaves around inside an enclosed chamber, and its success
apparently violates Newtons 3rd Law: everything must have
an equal and opposite reaction. Yet the EM drive does not behave
according to the law, which would involve it propelling something the
opposite direction. Amazingly, the EM drive produces light as
exhaust. Many are saying that the EM drive could get astronauts to
our moon in an hour, and to Mars in a month, which is three times
faster than the speeds we're currently capable of. But you're
probably saying, a month is still a long time to Mars, so that
certainly doesn't sound even close to FTL speeds! The key to all
this, though, is something discovered with the EM drive...
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.
