The passenger-freighter Hunter-Gratzner has disappeared from its flight path after only 19 weeks out of port, taking with it 39 passengers and crew and a hold full of valuable cargo. The last mayday signal received from the crashed vessel places it in the vicinity of the Taurus system. Exact coordinates have yet to be established. Faint distress signals are still being transmitted, indicating at least 10 survivors.
Alliance shipping is seeking proxy law enforcement agents for a reconnaissance investigation regarding the fate of this vessel and it's passengers. The Hunter-Gratzner was carrying several hundred thousand credits worth of insured cargo that may well have been a motive for sabotage or hijacking though there is no evidence of such as of yet.
The ship carried a far more dangerous cargo in the person of one Richard B. Riddick, an escaped convict with multiple convictions for theft, desertion and murder. Riddick was on route back to the Slam City prison facility in the custody of a proxy law enforcement officer when the ship lost contact. Officials at Slam City are eager for Riddick's return but warn potential investigators to exercise extreme caution in approaching this man. If among the survivors, Riddick is most certainly armed and dangerous.
The group of marooned space travelers struggle for survival on a seemingly lifeless sun-scorched world. Survival is tough with Riddick on the loose and no water in sight. However, come nightfall, they have even more to fear...
Riddick has to win the trust of his fellow castaways and ultimately leads the group against the planet's alien inhabitants.
