The prison transport USS Boethiah has gone silent and made an emergency landing on LV-059 — a planet of high importance to Weyland-Yutani, whose preliminary scans suggest a derelict vessel and likely Xenomorph activity. You are Sgt. Braun Rodriguez, the closest company asset to the location: an ex-colonial marine tasked with investigating the ship, locating the Boethiah's crew, securing sensitive files, and bringing back a live Xenomorph specimen per special Order 937.
