charismatic and visionary leader, Weyland believed in the idea of advancing mankind by revolutionary technological concepts and was a strong advocate of the concepts of androids and the exploration and colonization of space. However, the ethical implications of his visions were not without controversy. Peter Weyland was born on October 1, 1990, in Mumbai, India. His father was a self-taught software engineer and his mother a professor of Comparative Mythology, who had studied at Oxford. It soon became clear that Peter Weyland was a child prodigy, and by the time of October 2004, he had already registered a dozen patents, the latest being one for a synthetic trachea based on engineered stem cells. In the following years, he would lead Weyland Industries into an age of unprecedented financial success and influence, securing a position as a pioneer for new technologies. His first breakthrough for mankind was the reversing of global warming on Earth in 2016, using a prototype of the Atmosphere Processor technology – an achievement for which he would later win his first Nobel Peace Prize in Medicine on December 10, 2017. On July 17, 2016, he was granted knighthood by the Queen of England as one of the youngest individuals to receive such honor. On December 19, 2017, Weyland acquired the rights to the technology of a NASA project called Project Prometheus and revived the program to later successfully prove the existence of life on Europa. On February 4, 2023, he went on to win his second Nobel Peace Prize after his scientists had effectively cured cancer in 2022. On February 28, 2023, he visited the annual TED conference and delivered a landmark speech in which he presented his vision for the future of mankind. Delivering on his promise to create the first synthetic person in history, Weyland spearheaded the David project, which would improve the concept to perfection over the following decades. During this time, Weyland also used the resources of his corporation to develop the means to launch mankind into space and colonize distant worlds, creating new technologies such as the Atmospheric Processor, FTL travel and Cryosleep. (PR, PR:WIW) Weyland Industries: An influential and powerful company that was responsible for some of the greatest technological advances of the human race. Headquarters situated in San Francisco, United States of America, Earth. Under the guidance of Sir Peter Weyland, Weyland Industries launched mankind onto the stars and introduced cybernetic individuals into society, only to name the two most important achievements. Weyland Industries also developed landmark technologies in the fields of energy, health, weapon research and scientific instruments. As of 2073, the company had over 837 million employees and offices and facilities in 160 countries and maintained 63 off-world colonies. Also notable were the charity projects of the company, such as the Little Explorers program, the Explorers Academy and its support for veterans of the Asian Conflict, providing work for 35 per cent of them as of 2038. At an unknown date at the turn to the 22 nd century, Weyland Industries merged with its former competitor Yutani Corporation to form the conglomerate Weyland- Yutani. Weyland Industries was founded at an undisclosed date and has risen to a prospering enterprise at the turn to the 21 st century. Some time after Charles Bishop Weyland, the acting CEO of the company at the time, had died in 2004, Peter Weyland took over the reigns and launched an aggressive campaign for expansion and technological research. The first great success in the new century was the installation of solar panels in Earth's orbit in 2015 as a valuable source for renewable energy. This earned Weyland his first billion and secured the first round of venture capital in the same year. The company used this wealth to accomplish Weyland Industries' biggest achievement as of this date: By reversing global warming in 2016 and curing the common cancer in 2022, Weyland Industries soon rose to a position of incomparable power. At the annual TED conference in 2023, Sir Peter Weyland laid out the plans of Weyland Industries to develop advanced cypernetic indiduals and provide the technology to explore space and colonize distant planets. The following years would show that Weyland had not made idle promises. An early step in these endeavors was the acquisition of technology from a stagnating NASA program called Project Prometheus which it used to complete the JIMO and prove the existence of life in Europa's ocean on December 19, 2017. In 2024, the weapon research division of the company presented the Weyland
Storm Rifle, a weapon that featured revolutionary advances in performance and would receive further upgrades during the following decades. On January 7, 2025, Weyland Industries finished development on the first version of its landmark David android. Its pioneering in the field was only hindered by a lawsuit by Yutani Corporation, which Weyland Industries won on December 12, 2029. Continuing a phase where Weyland Industries bolstered its resources, the company acquired the Kepler mission on November 18, 2026, and CERN on September 18, 2029. On March 31, 2028, Weyland Industries announced that it had reached a market capitalization of 100 billion dollars in a record time span of 5 years. Further acquisitions, which were published on April 3, 2032, were those of Northrop Grumman, Boeing, BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin. The first major steps towards exploration of space were made by Weyland Industries with the discovery of Cryosleep technology in 2028 and FTL travel in 2032. One year earlier, the beginning of the terraforming process on Earth's moon had marked the first application of the Atmosphere Processor technology outside of Earth, where it was a vital instrument in the reversion of global warming almost two decades earlier. In 2034, Weyland Industries completed the first spacecraft with FTL technology, the Heliades. On May 11, 2035, the NSF lifted its restrictions on the commercial use of androids, clearing the way for the release of Weyland Industries' first commercially available David android, David 3, on June 30, 2035. In the same year, the company expanded its global presence by opening offices in Greece, Antarctica, El Salvador, and South Africa and other countries. A new incentive for mankind to reach for the stars arose when Weyland Industries discovered the Outer Veil on December 21, 2037, a region in space rich in natural resources. Two years later, Weyland Industries also discovered the planetoid LV-426, 83 years before the Nostromo incident. The date of May 28, 2039, marked the completion of the first breathable atmosphere on another planet by using an Atmosphere Processor on the planet GJ 667Cc. During the following decade, Weyland Industries also began entertaining ties with the government, the first collaboration being the establishment of the first off-world prison colony, HD 85512 b. Weyland Industries provided further essential technology for the exploration of space by developing devices such as the RT01 Group Transport in 2051 and the release of its advanced space suit on August 11, 2064, which featured cadium exoskeletons and an info display showing a variety of information like mission details, vitals and environment stats. The company was also responsible for inventing the MedPod in 2061, which would be approved by the FDA and enter production nine years later. On November 20, 2065, Weyland Industries furthered its relationship with the government, initiating talks about creating a transplanetary peacekeeping force, which would lay the foundation for the United States Colonial Marines. In 2066, the company was able to significantly reduce the production cost on the David android series, further establishing the model in human society. On March 9, 2072, Weyland Industries reorganized its structure into seven subdivisions for health, transportation, energy, electronics, terraforming, security and cybernetics. The culmination of the company's efforts was the relaunch of Project Prometheus on January 1, 2073, which would lead to the Prometheus incident in 2093 after Weyland scientists had discovered classified information. Weyland Storm Rifle: A revolutionary storm rifle developed by Weyland Industries. After developing technology that would triple the speed and double the accuracy of a rifle in 2024, the company presented the Weyland Storm Rifle on September 10 of the same year. Even in its initial version, the rifle sported remarkable features, such as being able to track a target over a maximum distance of 500 kilometers and delivering detailed information about the health and physique of the targeted individual and relaying information about whether the target can be locked down. On May 2, 2039, Weyland Industries patented an auto-compensation upgrade for the rifle that would enable the weapon to counteract any adverse atmospheric conditions regarding targeting and firing. Wierzbowsky, Trevor: A male human and member of the Colonial Marines. Sporting the rank of Private, he was part of the recon mission to LV-426 that resulted in the Hadley's Hope incident in 2179. Wierzbowsky was killed during the unit's fatal exploration of the Xenomorph hive inside the colony's Atmosphere processor. (A2)
