There are only a few small things the
citizens under a growing technocracy can do, if they are concerned
and want to resist the technocrats. They can call their elected
representatives in government and ask them to support government
intervention--there are several instances in American history where
monopolies have been broken up by the government to allow fair
competition and consumer choice. As long as a representative
government still exists, the technocrats can be resisted. On an
individual level, a citizen can choose to stop using the programs and
platforms forced on them by the tech giants. Although the
alternatives might not be as robust, they are still sufficient.
Protective software can be enabled on computers that prevents the
programs of the tech giants from running (many of them operating
without your knowledge or approval), preventing their access to your
data and internet activity. Supporting other companies instead of the
technocratic tech giants may be a small act, but it's a start. If you
want to begin your own resistance, search engines like DuckDuckGo and
script blockers like NoScript are a good start.
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.
