The beauty of using symbolism in
writing is that it is interpretative. The writer does not have to
outright clarify meaning when using symbolism, so the burden is on
the interpreter to prove, without a doubt, that it means what they
think it does. If the writer is careful, the symbolism can be written
in such a way that it has a duplicitous meaning--it could be
interpreted as meaning one thing or another. Yet to discerning and
like-minded readers, another meaning might emerge through symbolism.
The writer might use this method to write to a particular crowd using
colloquial language and symbolism to communicate ideas the author
knows will resonate with that particular audience. For instance,
homages can be made to other authors or works using subtle references
that would only be picked up by fans of those works.
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.
