Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, Colonial Marines on the planet Tartarus battle extraterrestrial hunters over the possession of a mysterious horseshoe-shaped spaceship of unknown origin. The Weyland-Yutani rep wants the ship, and the marine captain wants to protect her crew. But neither objective is likely when a band of Predators attacks!

The combat ship Hasdrubal was approaching the planet LV-797, nicknamed Tartarus. Tartarus is scheduled for terraforming under Weyland-Yutani, but the company is worried about the possibility of rival companies (specifically Seegson) asset-stripping the planet; consequently, the Hasdrubal and it’s 31 USCM crew have been assigned to prosecute any illegal prospectors. Captain Paget is overseeing the operation with Wey-Yu representative Lorimer also present as supervisor. Two marine dropships detach from the Hasdrubal and land on Tartarus, with several squads splitting up. Sergeant Roth’s squad is met with a Seegson excavation site and finds a lone survivor named Laurence Goode, who warns the marines that they never should have come to the planet. Captain Paget, Lorimer and Singer suddenly encounter an Engineer Juggernaut whilst exploring the terrain. Paget asks Lorimer why they were unable to see the ship from orbit, with Lorimer unsure. Meanwhile, three marines patrolling the quarters suddenly become ambushed and slaughtered by two Predators, the Hive Wars Predator and the Cracked Tusk Predator.
