Practically any vessel operating in space is owned by Weyland - Yutani , including the Nostromo . In 1979’sAlien , fan follow the crowd of the Nostromo as they set down on LV-426 in response to a distress signal , which is where they first find the Xenomorph species . plain , that integral ‘ side - mission ’ was organize byWeyland - Yutani to obtain the Xenomorph , and the company even put a synthetic substance disguised as a man on the bunch of the Nostromo to ensure the ship ’s real mission was a success . The Nostromo was supposed to merely be a transport watercraft carrying ore mined from other planet back to Earth , which is why Weyland - Yutani was more than willing to sacrifice them for the sake of its own research . However , even though the company quite literally doom its own employees to death to hold the Xenomorph , there ’s still one matter that is much more worthful to the companionship : water .

Weyland-Yutani’s Top Priority is the ‘Building Better Worlds’ Campaign

InAlienVol . 3 # 1 by Declan Shalvey and Andrea Broccardo , readers are introduced to the ice lunation of LV-695 . The enquiry team on this world is there to get dependable rootage of water which can then be shipped off to planets and moons across the galaxy . The opening Page of this egress confirm that a troupe call Talbot Engineering , Inc has secure the undivided piddle reclamation right on LV-695 , but then subsequently reveals that Weyland - Yutani bought that ship’s company , turning it into a Weyland - Yutani subsidiary . This means that on top of owning the ships that locomote to the world that it has incur the single right to colonise , Weyland - Yutani also owns the weewee that will be shipped to those world . This sport is more than just expert business , it is absolutely necessary for the company ’s astronomical autonomy .
