If you live on the East Coast, last
weekend was filled with cold temperatures and snow, keeping most of
us indoors except for occasional snow-shoveling. Although it was
mild, weather on earth can get much worse, but when considering the
weather on some alien planets, we really shouldn't be complaining.
About 63 light years from earth is a planet that is about 13% larger
than Jupiter, and it has extreme temperatures of up to 1,800 °F (980
degrees Celsius.) It's atmosphere is evaporating, losing about 1.3
billion pounds (600 million kgs) per second. Scientists recently
discovered the reason for its brightness it moved behind its star,
and discovered that the planet gets its light and unusual azure color
from the reflection of particles of silicate in its atmosphere. If
you thought rain, snow, or hail storms were dangerous, imagine
storms blowing shards of glass at 5 times the speed of sound!
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.
