Galaxy on Fire 2 — the game follows the adventures of Keith T. Maxwell as he is sent forward in time after his hyperdrive malfunctions, caused by damage from a skirmish in the asteroid belt. His ship, out of control with Keith unconscious, is put into orbit around Var Khastra by the ship's onboard computer, before being rescued by an ore merchant and towed to an orbiting space station. The merchant, Gunant Brech, tells Keith about the events that happened while Keith was unconscious. Brech then tasks Keith with collecting ore from an old mining ship.
