Something incredible has been found on the planet BG-386 in the refinery colony "Freya's Prospect". The ruins of an ancient temple, of inhuman origin, with a fighting arena on the roof and a panoramic pyramid underground. The leader of the Weyland-Yutani corporation (which runs the colony), Karl Bishop Weyland , eager to explore and control dangerous secrets, arrives on the planet to open it and seize the ultimate contents it holds, no matter what horror his actions may bring. For on the other side of the galaxy, the opening of the ancient structure will alert a race of fearsome warriors who will send out a band of hunters to ensure the pyramid's secrets remain sacrosanct at all costs. Meanwhile, in the bowels of the pyramid, the most bloodthirsty species of creature in the universe has awoken from its millennia-long slumber. The people of the USCM send the battleship USS Marlow into battle, carrying Marines. An epic battle for survival is about to begin, and it will be revealed who in this bloody triangle is the most powerful being in the galaxy.
