Hmm, sim, Fernando, obrigada. Então será o confronto com os extraterrestres que fizeram deles presas?
Fernando Okabe Biazibeti Sep 27, 2010:
set out set out (on something)
to begin a journey; to begin a project

Isso ajuda?
A. Carolina Melo (asker) Sep 27, 2010:
Estou com dificuldades em relacionar exactamente a expressão com "that have set out to target them as prey". "them" será os humanos, correcto? E o que será exactamente "set out"?

Talvez parafraseando se torne mais fácil...

I think there is a word missing here
to endeavour AGAINST = struggle/strive/ against adversity for example

story of human endeavour, often against adversity, that has inspired many.

Honestly the original is crap!
Try this
"Chosen for their ability to kill without conscience, a group of killers, some trained and some who are not, must do battle against an alien race of predators whose aim out to hunt them down. Dropped into the vast jungle of a distant world, these human guerrillas must learn just who, or what, they are up against."
