You can check out the trailer above for the introduction to some characters and setting. Also, here's a short description of the plot:

"Your duty is to investigate heresy deep within the Calixis Sector. Your craft is to expose corruption in the dark places no one else dares to look, to be the final defence of Humanity in the face of annihilation. Uncover nefarious plots, interrogate suspects, and piece together conspiracies in a deep investigative system."
