Nature itself has quite possibly
already cross-contaminated other planets with microbes from Earth.
When an asteroid impacts something, it sheds surface material from a
planet at high velocity into space. It is very possible that
resilient organisms like the tardigrade can withstand the temperature
and pressure extremes, riding along on the Earth fragments as they
are launched at high velocity into space. Computer models suggest
that impact "ejecta" could travel to the planets and their
moons in our solar system, with places like Mars and our own moon
receiving the bulk of the ejecta. That doesn't excuse some of the
acts we have already committed, however...
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.
