For a mintage that does n’t have any form of interstellar travel , or even the capacity to amply savvy what that even means , Xenomorphssure seem to be on a muckle of different worlds throughout theAlienfranchise – and now , it is finally explained how that is potential : Predators .

When Xenomorphs were first introduced in the 1979 film , Alien , they were isolated to one world : LV-426 aka Acheron . In bothAlienand the continuation film , Aliens , Xenomorphs were only ever evince on Acheron , and only jeopardize out from the major planet when a Xenomorph or two hitched a ride on a human starship – but that only happened double ( AlienandAlien 3 ) and leave in the nearly contiguous deaths of those Xenomorphs . Even Xenomorph clones did n’t make it off the ship they were make on inAlien Resurrection . So , how were they so far-flung across the universe ? The comic book continuation show human move to a act of far - off worlds , and more often than not , a Xenomorph beehive has already been establish there . While it was in the beginning assumed that theXenomorphs were spread from major planet - to - planetby the Space Jockey that was read in the first film , one comic founder a much more hearty explanation .

Predators Spread Xenomorph Queens from World to World

InAliens vs vulture : Warby Randy Sradley and Mike Manley , a human named Machiko Noguchi has been recruited by the Yautja following the events of the originalAliens vs Predatorcomic serial publication , during which metre she succeed in killing a number of Xenomorphs and thereby earnedthe Predator ’s mark of honor . However , she quickly learned that kill Xenomorphs was only half of the Yautja ’s responsibilities , as they also had to ensure that the Xenomorph species was plentiful across the cosmos . In the first issue of this series , Machiko is with her team of Predators on an alien satellite , trying to nobble a Xenomorph Queen from her hive in decree to move her to a different world to seed it with life – thus creating yet another hunt primer for the Predators to carry on their rite of passage : the Blooding Ritual .

Every Predator , in fiat to reach full due date as an intergalactic hunter , must first come through in discharge the Blooding Ritual , which requires them to kill a Xenomorph and then strike off themselves with the Xenomorphs acid blood – a permanent stigmatization of the high honour . Machiko participated in the Blooding Ritual without even recognize it , which is why she became a predatory animal herself – which only move to show how seriously the Yautja take this ritual of passage . Sincehunting Xenomorphs is so important to Yautja culture , the Predators have to check that they are prevalent across the world – hence , why Xenomorphs keep popping up on random planet throughout the franchise .

While this method of seeding much any planet they come across with Xenomorph life is right for the Predators , it is pretty bad for the rest of the universe . Xenomorphs have the power to terraform any planetthey invade perfectly , and that mental process usually kills every trace of that world ’s indigenous life . But , that matter very little to thePredatorsas they see any given planet as nothing more than a hunt ground for their most crucial rite – a rite that requires them to spreadXenomorphsacross theAlienuniverse .
