You are Mike Erlin, 2nd Lieutenant of the United Planets Survey Service Spaceship, 'Stellar Queen'. While on a survey of the stars and planets in the Pleiades cluster, you lose contact with your sister ship, the 'Stellar Princess'. Your Captain orders the 'Queen' to the last known position of the 'Princess' so a search can begin for her. When you reach this position, you find it is near an earth-like planet that has three moons. The largest of these is bigger than Earth's moon. As the 'Queen' moves in closer to the planet, a powerful tractor beam lashes out from the large moon and seizes the 'Queen'! The ship gathers speed and hurtles towards an almost certain crash on the satellite!! As the 'Queen' plunges down, the Pilot and Chief Engineer manage only by sheer skill to turn the ship and fire the main engines to slow the ship. Instead of a fatal crash, the 'Queen' makes a very hard, but safe, landing! As damage reports start arriving in the Main Control Room, you use your survey equipment to discover that the tractor beam is no longer operating, but an even more powerful magnetic field is holding the 'Queen' on the surface of the moon. The source of this magnetic field is centred a few kilometres from the 'Queen', in a large underground installation. The Captain calls for volunteers to form a party to search for this alien installation. You step forward, but the Captain refuses, saying you are needed on board. You have other ideas, and resolve to make your own way off the ship to search for this alien installation on your own!!
