''X: The Fiend From Beyond Space'' is set after the events of ''Film/AttackOfTheMoonZombies'' and features Captain Herman Frehley leading a decades-long mission to Alpha Centauri (started in the year 1981) on the UESPA spaceship Endeavor. The crew emerges from cryogenic suspension early to find themselves in orbit around a dead rogue planet in the year 2014. Finding the corpse of a seemingly dead alien on the planet's surface, the crew bring the body on-board only to discover the creature is not quite dead... and hungry!
