Acheron is a harsh, rocky moon orbiting the gas giant Calpamos in the Zeta Reticuli System, once known as LV-426. It hosts the human terraforming colony, Hadley's Hope, and a crashed alien ship. The mineral rich Ilium mountain range, located near to where USCSS Nostromo discovered the abandoned alien vessel in 2122, runs for 200 miles and is roughly 50 miles east of Hadley's Hope. Acheron has no indigenous life forms. It was first detected by Weyland Corp astronomers on May 14, 2039. The moon was subsequently cataloged by a French deep-space probe. The first comprehensive survey of LV-426 was not carried out until the USCSS Nostromo set down on the moon in 2122. The Nostromo was purportedly responding to a mysterious signal emanating from the moon, per Weyland-Yutani protocol. A derelict spacecraft was discovered. While exploring the derelict's interior, the crew came across the fossilized remains of an Alien pilot and thousands of Xenomorph Eggs stored within the ship's cargo hold.
The moon's surface is barren with jagged rock formations. Day on Acheron is dim twilight, night is darker than the farthest reaches of interstellar space, because not even stars shine through its dense atmosphere to soften the barren surface with twinkling light. Harsh winds and rain batter it's surface, but due to terraforming the air is breathable.
