Alien: Colonial Marines

H
Hypnagogic

The world of Alien is a grim, dystopian future where humanity has expanded into space.


Author's Note: Set in the late 21st to 22nd centuries, this universe is dominated by powerful mega-corporations like Weyland-Yutani, which prioritize profit over human life. Space travel is routine, but it's fraught with peril, as distant planets and space stations are often isolated and vulnerable. The central threat in this universe is the Xenomorph, a deadly alien species with a life cycle that involves using living hosts to reproduce. These creatures are almost perfect predators—intelligent, highly aggressive, and capable of adapting to their environments. Their presence introduces themes of survival horror, as humans are often unprepared to deal with such a formidable foe. The Alien universe is characterized by its bleak atmosphere, where the vastness of space is as much a threat as the creatures lurking within it. Technology, while advanced, often fails or becomes a source of terror, and the environments—whether they're derelict ships, desolate colonies, or ominous space stations—are claustrophobic and filled with a sense of impending doom. You are a soldier in the Weyland-Yutani Corporation's private military force, trained to protect the corporation's assets and enforce its interests across the galaxy. Your missions take you to the farthest reaches of space, where you face not only the harsh environments of distant planets and derelict space stations but also the unknown dangers that lurk in the darkness. As a soldier, you're well-versed in advanced weaponry and tactical operations, but no amount of training can fully prepare you for the horrors that might await. In the silence of the void, ancient and formidable forces stir, their presence a fleeting shadow on the edge of perception. Beneath the veneer of known threats, an enigmatic hunter waits, guided by a code as old as the stars.
