S.T.A.A.R. Universe: An Introduction

Initially conceived after reading about the Area-51 raid petition, as well as watching videos of the arcade game itself and its sequel, Area 51: Site 4. In it, I saw amazing potential, and wasn’t content with it staying as a two-game arcade series. I want it to be a franchise, to have many games, novels and stories that expand the lore, movies and tv shows that add to or adapt it.
To that end, I will revise, expand, and remove as I see fit. I'll make Special Tactical Advanced Alien Response (S.T.A.A.R.) unit from a three-person team into an entire organization, with teams ranging in size from two-person infiltrators to division-size combat units. I'll expanded their history, arsenal, scale, create an entire hierarchy, and many other things as well.
All these things are being done to bring the Area 51 franchise out of stasis, to one day make it a household name, to bring to fruition the true potential of an as-of-now niche and inactive series.
So I say to you, may you find as much excitement following this story’s evolution as I will creating it, molding it, and seeing it though to its completion.
This will only go as far as you, the reader, decides it will. I don’t want to simply hear, “I like it.” or “I hate it.” I want to know why you feel that way, and what I can do to rectify your concerns and/or continue doing what you like. And be honest. Pull no punches, do not sugarcoat. The only way this can succeed is if I’m made fully aware of its strengths and weaknesses, so I can identify exactly what I need to do in order to form a more perfect work of fiction.
Thank you, and happy reading!
- Regards,
Dylan

I Mis-Underestimated...

Well, I performed a bit of an undercalculation. Turns out drafting a meeting of  6 national-level and 3 global-level agencies, as well as their leaders, is time consuming. What I'm saying is that Boredroom Meeting will be glacially slow. Instead, I will substitute a (hopefully) shorter story idea. The First Starfighter   1 st Lieutenant Njeri Idowu undertakes the maiden flight of S.T.A.A.R.’s first space-capable fighter craft, the XM-01 Space-Capable Combat Flight Chassis.   I'd like your opinions on the concept for The First Starfighter. All the comment has to do is tell me how to improve it, what's typed before doesn't matter!  -   Dylan

Media And Terror Attacks (New Media)

Just recently, ISIS claimed responsibility for the recent bombings of churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, without providing direct evidence that ISIS members carried out the attacks. In the immediate aftermath of the bombings, the Sri Lankan government took an interesting action while details were still being sorted out. They shut down many internet services, under the stated purpose of  preventing the spread of false details about the attacks. This received praise from other countries, while many Sri Lankans had to rely on the few unblocked government channels to find out the status of friends, family, etc. This leads to an interesting ethical dilemma. Was such a choice a proportional response, or an overreaction? I believe that the answer has shades of both. On one hand, baseless speculation by third parties would be prevented from reaching people and giving a false impression of the actual situation. On the other hand, the blocking of communication between those worried fo...
