==History== [[file:LV-426.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Traversing the surface of LV-426]] In 2122, the commercial tow freighter ''Nostromo'' awakened its crew from stasis to investigate a mysterious signal coming from a nearby planetoid, as per company protocol. Though the Nostromo was severely damaged while landing on LV-426, the crew's exploration team consisting of Captain Dallas, Kane and Lambert proceeded to explore the planetoid's surface and eventually discovered the Derelict spacecraft that was responsible for transmitting the signal. While exploring the Derelict's interior, the crew came across the fossilized remains of the ship's pilot and thousands of [[egg]]s stored within the ship's cargo hull. Kane was impregnated by a [[facehugger]] that emerged from one of the eggs and was taken to the ''Nostromo'' for treatment. The Nostromo soon lifted off again, but the creature implanted an embryo in Kane which [[Chestburster|birthed from his chest]] in space, eventually leading to the ''Nostromo''<nowiki/>'s destruction. Approximately thirty-six years after the ''USCSS Nostromo'' made contact with LV-426, the [[Weyland-Yutani|Weyland-Yutani Corporation]] established the terraforming colony, [[Hadley's Hope]], on LV-426, using an [[Atmosphere Processor (LV-426)|atmospheric processor]] to make the planet's atmosphere breathable and up to habitable temperatures, unaware of the nearby spacecraft. Another twenty years later, the Jordan family sent to investigate a set of coordinates on company orders, discovered the Derelict, apparently untouched since the Nostromo incident fifty-seven years earlier. A facehugger impregnated the father, [[Russ Jorden|Russ]], when he and his [[Anne Jorden|wife]] explored the Derelict spacecraft. Under orders from [[Carter J. Burke|Carter Burke]], the colonists investigated the Xenomorph eggs and a large number of colonists were 'facehugged' so that the species could be studied. Four dead facehuggers were kept preserved, and two live ones were removed before embryo implantation, at the cost of the lives of their hosts. However, the humans who were impregnated released [[Chestburster|chestbursters]] which matured and established a [[hive]] in Sub-Level 3 of the [[Hadley's Hope]] atmosphere processor. The Xenomorphs killed or captured, cocooned and impregnated many of the colonists. One of the Xenomorphs developed into a [[Queen]] and started producing more eggs. The remaining humans barricaded themselves into the colony complex and fought with small arms and the colony's seismic survey charges but to no avail. The Aliens captured or killed outright all but one of the colonists, a little girl. A short while later, a [[United States Colonial Marine Corps|Colonial Marines]] squad, including Warrant Officer [[Ellen Ripley]], arrived on LV-426 to investigate the loss of communication. After two battles with the [[Xenomorph]]s, the hive was destroyed when the atmospheric processor's power source exploded. Ripley, Newt (the sole surviving colonist), Corporal [[Dwayne Hicks]], and an [[Synthetic|android]] ("[[Bishop (341-B)|Bishop]]") escaped LV-426 in time onboard the [[USS Sulaco]]. Unknown to them, the Queen had managed to get aboard, but was ejected into space by Ripley through the airlock after a short battle where Ripley used a loader suit to fight the queen hand-to-hand.
