Set in
the 26th century, ''Dead Space'' revolves around Isaac Clarke, a space engineer who works for
the Concordance Extraction Corporation (C.E.C.), a company that operates giant mining ships throughout
the galaxy. When
the C.E.C. receives a distress call from
the USG ''Ishimura'' (a “Planet Cracker”-class ship that mines continent-sized pieces of a planet's crust in order to extract valuable ore), Isaac and four o
ther C.E.C. employees set out on
the USG ''Kellion'' to rendezvous with
the ''Ishimura'' in orbit above Aegis 7.
Their assumption is that a mechanical failure is
the only problem. At
the beginning of
the game, Isaac is seen watching a video sent to him by his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Brennan, who is currently on board
the ''Ishimura''.
Shortly after crash landing on
the ''Ishimura's'' flight deck,
the crew of USG ''Kellion'' is attacked by hostile creatures called Necromorphs.
These creatures reproduce by reanimating deceased human bodies, violently mutating and assimilating
them to become one of
their own (A process referred to by a scientific backstory log as "Recombination"). Isaac
escapes down an elevator, and is separated from
the rest of
the team. At this point, Isaac, Kendra Daniels, and Zach Hammond are
the only surviving members of
the USG ''Kellion''.
Throughout
the rest of
the game, Isaac is tasked with repairing different areas of
the ''Ishimura'' while constantly under attack by Necromorphs. Eventually, Isaac, Kendra, and Hammond get a S.O.S beacon sent out on an asteroid, which attracts a military vessel,
the USM ''Valor''. Unfortunately,
the USM ''Valor'' takes aboard an
escape shuttle which was jettisoned from
the ''Ishimura'' while a Necromorph was inside.
The Necromorph causes havoc aboard
the ''Valor'', killing some of
the crew, and it crashes into
the ''Ishimura''. In an attempt to get to
the Valor's singularity core, Hammond is killed by a Brute, a ra
ther large Necromorph. Isaac retrieves
the ''Valor'''s power core and, with
the help of Dr. Kyne, uses it to attempt to
escape with Kendra and Dr. Kyne in order to return
the Marker, an artifact of unknown origin that Unitologists believe to be divine, to Aegis 7.
