leashed the organism on mankind's homeworld. The following infestation quickly consumed the entireplanet and forced the human race to evacuate to the outer colonies. It was not until 2197 whenmankind was able to reclaim Earth and clean it of the Xenomorphs. Numerous encounters betweenhumans and Xenomorphs followed, a notable one being an expedition to a Xenomorph hiveworldsponsored by the Grant Corporation. During this time, humankind was forced to invest research inmethods to combat Xenomorphs. By 2381, the Xenomorph organism was seemingly wiped out, butwas resurrected by the United States Military aboard the Auriga in a successful attempt to harvestthe species from a clone of Ellen Ripley called Ripley 8. However, the hive was wiped out when theAuriga crashed on Earth. During the events involving Ripley 8 and the survivors of the Auriga incident,it was uncovered that humans had known of the Xenomorph's existence long before the Nostromoincident and were secretly collaborating with the Engineer race, which had in fact survivedthe genocide, but was unable to reproduce. Ironically, it turned out that the Xenomorph organismcould hold the key to overcome this infertility, and so, the struggle between mankind and the Xenomorphcontinues until now.Xiwang Colony: A colony founded on Gliese 876 b in the year 2048 to exploit the planet's naturalgases. Had a population of almost 10 million colonists by the year 2071. Key resources were methane,terbium, nitrogen and helium. (PR:WIW)XR-500: A long-range cannon. The Hovertread was armed with a XR-500. (KAF)*** Y ***Yutani Corporation: An influential Japanese company existing since at least the 20 th century.Named after its founding family. Yutani developed and produced a wide range of products, such asvideo analysis software and FTL drives. At the beginning of the 21 st century, Yutani tried to gain afoothold in the rising android market, but suffered a severe setback when its rival, Weyland Industries,won a lawsuit regarding the patent for their landmark David android model on December 12,2029. This did not stop Yutani from corporate espionage, monitoring transmissions to the highestechelons of Weyland Industries, such as a call from Dr. Elizabeth Shaw to Sir Peter Weyland regardingProject Prometheus on April 4, 2079.Yutani eventually merged with Weyland Industries in the early 22 nd century to form the Weyland-Yutani joint venture. Among other things, Yutani provided components for company vessels andalso equipped the Nostromo with a Yutani FTL drive. As Yutani reportedly had a vested interest inalien technology before the merging, it is possible that it was their influence that caused Weyland-Yutani to became interested in acquiring the Xenomorph organism for research. (PR:WIW)Yutani Photo-Polygraph Technologies: A subdivision of the Yutani Corporation that developedthe Quiet Eye video analysis software. (PR)*** Z ***Zeta II Reticuli: A G1 V class star and part of the Zeta Reticuli binary star system. Approximately36.7 light years away from Earth. Has eight planets, of which only two are in the zone for being potentiallyhabitable worlds. However, even those only contain traces of atmosphere, rendering themincapable of sustaining life. The fourth planet is a Jovian super giant with a ring system. The secondmajor moon of this stellar body is the planetoid LV-426, which was the stage for numerous confrontationsbetween mankind and the Xenomorph, including the Nostromo incident and the Hadley'sHope incident. Another planet, LV-223, housed several weapon facilities of the Engineers and wasthe site of the LV-223 incident. (A1, A2, A:CMTM, A:INF)Zeus Colony: A colony on HAT-P-13CM. Established in 2061. Boasted a population of over 5,5
million by 2071. Zeus Colony's industry was focused on mining, refining and energy, taking advantageof the planet's massive solar arrays and vast deposits of Methane gas. (PR:WIW)
