I got this from a discord chat group. Presumably it’s official, haven’t seen it anywhere else yet.

    Yeah in the two AvP movies. I’m not sure where the fuck those stand in the official timeline, if at all. Likewise, no idea where this sits either. I thought I read it was before the events of Alien, which seems dumb.

      Depends on how before the events of alien work. If the before lines up with the Nostromo traveling prior to LV426 touch down and gives a timeline for xenomorph discovery could explain WYs reason for diverting the ship.

      My only issue with the above is Ash would have known more upon landing. Unless very little is about to happen in this series.

      From what I’ve heard, it’s set before Alien and apparently it might be ignoring Prometheus and Covenant.

      it’s not dumb, because the aliens were being shipped around by the predators and then even the humans. some ppl just can’t let them go. it’s kinda the morale of those movies that greedy ppl can’t stop messing around with dangerous stuff.
