The first of the ''X series'', it is a space trading and combat simulator game, mostly set in the fictional X-Universe.

Three full sequels have since followed: ''X2: The Threat'' in 2003, ''X3: Reunion'' in 2005 and ''X3: Terran Conflict'' in 2008. ''X: Beyond the Frontier'' and ''X-Tension'' were released in together as X-Gold in 2000. A novel, Farnham's Legend, is based on the plot of ''X: Beyond the Frontier''. ==Background== Set in the year 2912, in the Beginning of the 30th Century, the player takes the role of Kyle Brennan, an Earth test pilot for the ''X-Shuttle'', better known as the ''X-Perimental Shuttle'', which has the ability to jump from one part of the universe to another via a wormhole without requiring a jumpgate. During the test jump, something goes drastically wrong and Brennan ends up in an unknown part of space. He encounters an alien race, the Teladi, a highly capitalist, profit-focused culture. Finding Kyle helpless, they repair his ship and loan him some money. They also give hints on trading in the X Universe, and may tell him (if he asks) about the Argon and other alien races in the X-Universe. The X Universe is a network of sectors linked by jumpgates. With his jumpdrive destroyed, and no idea how to return to Earth, Brennan finds himself stranded, alone and indebted to an alien race. The player is free to choose how to continue the game, and if or when to pursue the main plot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「X: Beyond the Frontier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
