It is a fighting machine; a cyborg designed for slaughter. A Slayer. Freed from its creators, it had gone into hibernation.

Until now.

War has spread throughout the galaxy. In a distant solar system, a totalitarian paramilitary militia has seized control of several planets. In each system they control, they run slave-labor camps to build new weapons and settlements.

On the planet Reg, a team of prisoners have broken free with the help of the notorious vigilante Malcolm Albain. Forming an unlikely alliance, they track the militia leader to a settlement on the planet Grinder with intent to get even.

Upon arrival, they find the settlement devastated, its soldiers dead. The group also discover a derelict ship from a distant galaxy with a dark secret inside.

A bloodthirsty cybernetic organism, armed with razor-sharp talons and an energy-projectile weapon, has awakened. Designed to wage combat in gladiator spectacles in front of thousands of other species, the Slayer is hellbent on killing anything it sees.

With their numbers dwindling and their transportation destroyed, the group must figure out how to defeat the beast or else face certain death.
