When Ripley's shuttle was found by a deep-space salvage team in 2179, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation used this as an opportunity to reacquire the alien species lying dormant on LV-426. Ripley, Corporal Hicks, a little girl nicknamed Newt, and a Marine android known as Bishop were the only ones who managed to escape. www.sidepoint.com /articles/LV-426   (134 words)

Arriving at LV-426, Ripley and her companions soon discover that the aliens have overrun the colony and that all the settlers are apparently dead. With her friends and family long dead, Ripley (now promoted to Lieutenant) reluctantly agrees to accompany a rescue mission sent by the all-powerful Company, acting as advisor to a squad of gung-ho Colonial Marines sent to rescue the colonists. www.alienartifacts.com /encyclopedia/Aliens_(1986_movie)   (2150 words)

CultTVman: On the Bench 138 Kyu-Woong Lee This is the first part of the ship we see in the opening sequence of the Sulaco on its way to LV-426. I was resigned to its scale being small, and although it was very accurate, like many of their kits, it was less than satisfying because of its size. The overall proportion of the model was pretty accurate, although an extra inch inserted into the mid-drift of the main fuselage would have made it perfect. www.culttvman.com /archive_bench_138_kyu-woong_le.html   (1635 words)

Serena Dawn Spaceport This theory suggests that the embryo implanted in the crewman Kane aboard the Nostromo was a transitional form between Aliens optimized for humans and those optimized for the beings aboard the derelict spacecraft found on LV-426. The most popular theory is that UPP troops were going to kill Zag and blame the marines for it. Essentially, the Alien is able to operate without otherwise essential functions because it does not possess them, deriving its energy instead from a powerful bio- electrical charge generated within its body by means of acidic reaction. www.serenadawn.com /Alien-Campaign-ChapterOne.html   (12674 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Alien at Epinions.com The plot is this: while on their way back to Earth, the crew of the Nostromo receive a distress signal from a planet called LV-426. All the actors involved turn in great performances, which is surprising since this is a sci-fi movie. Sigourney Weaver is especially good as Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley, followed by Tom Skeritt as Captain Dallas, who meets a really gruesome end (if you've seen the deleted scenes from Alien, you'll know what I mean by that). www.epinions.com /mvie-review-7188-C49E82-38BFD7BF-prod7   (12674 words)

Alien (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Arriving at LV-426, Ripley and her companions soon discover that aliens have overrun the colony and that all settlers have died, except for a young girl nicknamed Newt. The cover of Ripley's hypersleep chamber cut the facehugger, and the release of its acidic blood caused a fire onboard, which led to the Sulaco jettisoning an escape shuttle towards a penal colony planet, Fiorina 161, inhabited only by a small number of extremely violent and dangerous offenders. Ripley — as the sole survivor of the Nostromo— initiates the ship's self-destruct sequence, escapes in a shuttle craft with a cage carrying Jones, the ship's cat, and finally destroys the alien by blowing it out of the airlock into open space. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Alien_(movie)   (5112 words)

Aliens - Review - Better than the Original? The Company send out a joint colonial marine/company expedition to LV-426, on the spaceship Sulaco, to find out what happened. The only survivors of this battle were Ripley, Newt, Hicks and Bishop the android, who escaped the planet from the planet surface using a dropship and use it to board the Sulaco. In spite of their armaments (pulse rifles, smart guns, Armoured Personnel Carriers, Phased Plasma Pulse Rifles, etc), the marines armed hardly stood a chance of survival against the aliens. www.dooyoo.co.uk /vhs-title-a/aliens/144083   (286 words)

Alien (movie) Eventually, all aboard the Sulaco are killed, except Ripley, Newt, Corporal Hicks, and Bishop (an android), who escaped LV-426 shortly before the thermonuclear meltdown of the facility's atmosphere processor destroyed the colony. The movie begins with one alien facehugger emerging during the crew's hypersleep at the Sulaco and impregnating Ripley with an alien queen-embryo. The cover of Ripley's hypersleep chamber cut the facehugger, and the release of its acidic blood caused a fire onboard, which led to the Sulaco jettisoning an escape shuttle towards a penal colony planet, Fiorina 161, inhabited only by a small number of extremely violent and dangerous offenders. giger.blogiston.com /giger/Jello_Biafra/Alien_(movie)   (5244 words)

The two adults on the Sulaco are never explained and neither is the fact that the capsules were left alone.

Bishop was an android created in the 22nd century by the Weyland-Yutani corporation, in the image of the 21st century founder of the corporation and pioneer of robotics, Charles Bishop Weyland. Hicks and Newt were killed in the crash, and Bishop was severely damaged, and was shut down by Ripley after she consulted him. www.websbiggest.com /wiki-article-tab.cfm/bishop__android_   (303 words)

The Johanson Collection: "Armat M41-A Pulse Rifle", by SD Studios One of the most memorable things in the movie was the main weapon employed by the Colonial Marines assigned to investigate the situation on planet LV-426: the M41-A pulse rifle. The pulse rifle was originally conceived by director and writer James Cameron, who wanted to arm his Marines with a futuristic, yet still believable weapon. The pulse rifle shown here is functional in every way, with one important exception: It cannot chamber or fire any kind of rounds. www.arsnovum.com /html/M41-A.htm   (166 words)

Aliens: 2003 Special Edition (Alien Quadrilogy Boxed Set) (1986) Her account of the Alien and the fate of her crew are received with skepticism - until the mysterious disappearance of colonists on LV-426 lead her to join a team of high-tech colonial marines sent in to investigate. James Cameron's maintained a pretty spectacular career to date, and as unpopular as he may be in some circles after the enormous success of Titanic - "king of the world" indeed! Personally supervised by director James Cameron, this special edition includes scenes eliminated prior to the film's 1986 release which broaden the narrative scope and enrich the emotional impact of the film. www.dvdmg.com /aliens2003.shtml   (166 words)

Alien Movies It reveals how the colony on LV-426 encountered the aliens, and more importantly why Ripley's maternal bond with Newt is so strong, which adds an extra dimension to the film's climax. Sigourney Weaver's Ripley - one of the strongest roles for a female lead in mainstream cinema - is centre-stage throughout, more than able to hold her own either among the butch Marines and insectoid aliens. James Cameron's Aliens digests all the virtues of Alien and regurgitates them bigger, louder and brasher than before. www.red-house-consultancy.co.uk /landchester/videos_dvds/movies/scifi/alien.html   (166 words)

IMDb user comments for Aliens (1986) 57 years after the events of the first film, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is found and awakened from hyper sleep to discover that a terraforming colony has been set up on LV-426, the planet wherein she and her fellow crew of the mining cargo spaceship Nostromo first encountered the titular aliens. Sigourney Weaver is terrific but it is her supporting cast that shines and makes you feel like you know the crew that is heading to that desolate planet. Sigourney's Ripley is such a strong-willed woman, that even put shame to men (somehow I feel this is quite unbelievable, because she has got so much energy, especially the scene where she gets back to the Queen's hatch to save Newt). www.imdb.com /title/tt0090605/usercomments   (166 words)

United States Colonial Marines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia All but two of these Marines were killed during the encounters with the xenomorphs on the planet LV-426.

Technical Books But on a dirtball colony planet known only as LV-426 the unthinkable happened. Among other things, it involves the Aliens being able to "recharge" via electrical energy and being more or less like a battery. The book is okay if you can look through the fingers with the fact that it doesn't go along the same line as the movies and that it's basically only concerned about colonial marines versus Aliens. binarybonsai.com /sitesdir/aliens/books-technical.htm   (1260 words)

Ellen Ripley - AvP Encyclopedia After her subsequent rescue by a salvage crew in 2179, Ripley was made a Lieutenant and returned with a team of Colonial Marines to LV-426, as portrayed in Aliens, 1986.
