In 2142, a Weyland-Yutani corporation space probe investigates the wreckage of the USCSS Nostromo and picks up an organic object containing a Xenomorph. Some time later, on the mining colony Jackson’s Star, young Rain Carradine, an orphan working with her adopted brother Andy, a reprogrammed synthetic human, agrees to join her ex-boyfriend Tyler to travel to an abandoned spaceship to try to recover some cryostasis chambers. These will allow them and their friends (Tyler’s sister Kay, his cousin Bjorn and his girlfriend Navarro) to escape to the planet Yvaga.
