Briefing - Aliens have swarmed the U.S.S. Nighthawk. Since their arrival into the Keh'lin Nebula, the U.S.S. Nighthawk has lost a total of 43 officers. 43 dead...17 remain...

In an attempt to regain control of their vessel, the crew of the U.S.S. Nighthawk have fallen back to Shuttle bay Two. Twelve officers have arrived...the other five lost in the pitch black of the ship's corridors. The Executive Officer is still missing, and her memory is filled with the echoing screams of terrified officers...

...as the sound makes its way through the hull of the shattered vessel. Here they make their last stand, and it is here, in the dark that they take back control...the dreams can be destroyed - they can win...
