Synopsis

When humans finally managed to colonize the planet Venus, they discovered a gigantic system of artificial underground tunnels. It is assumed that a very advanced alien race, known as Heechee, built these tunnels thousands of years ago. Eventually, an abandoned but fully functioning Heechee spacecraft is discovered. One of the explorers gets on board, which leads humanity to the discovery of a space station with many similar spacecraft - all with coordinates of unknown planets already punched. This station is known as the "Gate" because it is humanity's only point of connection with the rest of the universe. Since traveling to potentially dangerous destinations carries a lot of risk, only a few particularly brave (or perhaps reckless) adventurers, called “prospectors,” volunteered to undertake these trips. The protagonist of the game is one of these prospectors, who earned membership status in exchange for a small amount of money and a one-way ticket to the Portal. He eventually discovers an ancient device containing a warning against a mysterious alien species known as the Assassins - and the prospector is given the task of protecting humans from this threat.
