LIFEFORMS

In the far reaches of the Frontier, the company’s species guide is a vital resource for explorers and colonists alike. This guide, however, is notorious for its omissions and secretive classifications. While the public catalog contains descriptions of various known extraterrestrial species, many creatures recorded by the company are kept from public knowledge due to their dangerous nature and potential for exploitation.
  Abominations, for instance, are mutated versions of other extrasolar fauna. These creatures defy official classification, existing as nightmarish deviations from their original forms. Their mutations often result in enhanced aggressiveness, resilience, and other unpredictable traits, making them hazardous encounters for anyone who crosses their path.
  Weyland-Yutani, the most influential corporation in space exploration and colonization, applies its enigmatic XX designation to certain redacted creatures. These creatures are deemed both deadly and highly exploitable, perfect candidates for the company’s notorious bioweapons division. The XX designation marks them as subjects of intense study and potential weaponization, kept under strict confidentiality to avoid public panic and maintain competitive advantage.
  Among these XX-designated creatures are the infamous xenomorphic and protomorphic species. Xenomorphs, with their lethal life cycle and adaptive capabilities, are considered the pinnacle of bioweapons potential. Their ability to integrate genetic material from host organisms results in a diverse array of deadly forms, each more terrifying than the last. Protomorphs, while less understood, represent a similarly formidable threat with their own unique biological properties.
  The company’s clandestine research into these lifeforms is driven by the promise of unparalleled power and profit. By harnessing the lethal characteristics of such creatures, Weyland-Yutani aims to develop advanced bioweapons that could shift the balance of power in space. This pursuit, however, comes with great risk, as the creatures' unpredictability and ferocity pose constant threats to researchers and containment protocols.
