X2: The Threat brings you back to the X Universe as a pilot who leaves a life of piracy to work in a mining field. But your past catches up with you, and you must unravel a mystery that involves your father, new technologies, a destructive race called "Khaak," and your own identity. Travel to space stations and ships and use a myriad of weapons on evil alien races. Build your own empire as a trader, a bounty hunter, pirate, or a miner.
