Alien: Earth takes place earlier than the primary Alien film chronologically, at a time when the globe — and a few of area — is dominated by 5 totally different firms.
A few of these are names we have heard earlier than in the Alien universe, whereas others are model new. Some look like extra related to the story Alien: Earth is telling than others. That will help you preserve monitor, we have damaged down the 5 firms, and all the things we find out about them up to now.
What are the 5 firms in Alien: Earth?
Though solely three of the companies have been talked about up to now within the present, the names of all 5 have been revealed within the official Alien: Earth press launch. These are:
-
Weyland-Yutani
-
Lynch
-
Dynamic
-
Threshold
-
Prodigy
We get a short glimpse of the individuals who presumably run these 5 firms close to the beginning of episode 1, throughout an impromptu politics lesson given by Maginot engineer Shmuel (Michael Smiley) to his apprentice Malachite (Jamie Bisping).
Mashable High Tales
What do we all know concerning the firms?
We all know fairly a bit a couple of couple, and principally nothing about some others. The 2 firms which have been key to the Alien: Earth story up to now are Weyland-Yutani, which owns the USCSS Maginot deep area analysis vessel that crashes on Earth carrying the alien specimens, and Prodigy, a more recent company that owns Prodigy Metropolis in New Siam, the place the ship lands, and the “Neverland” analysis island the place the hybrids are primarily based.
Prodigy is owned by Boy Kavalier (Samuel Blevin), the “youngest trillionaire ever” who we study based the corporate round a decade in the past — Alien: Earth is about in 2120. Prodigy is thought for synths and AI, however as we uncover in episode 1, they’re within the strategy of pioneering one thing new: hybrids, that are basically synths with a downloaded human consciousness.
When it comes to the opposite firms, we all know principally nothing about Lynch and Threshold — these have not been talked about in Alien: Earth but — and the one factor we find out about Dynamic is that they management the moon, because of a passing remark by Zaveri (Richa Moorjani) within the Maginot canteen. As Shmuel explains additional within the scene, Weyland-Yutani has management of each North and South America and Mars and Saturn.
As we already know from the Alien franchise as a complete, Weyland-Yutani has an obsession with Xenomorphs, and buying alien species for its personal shady functions (usually on the expense of the people concerned with mentioned buying). Given the lengths the company has already gone to to collect the specimens onboard the Maginot, what lengths may they go to to try to get them again?
