Alien Universe Androids: Guide To Synthetics
Synthetic crew members have been part of the Alien franchise since Ash, often hiding agendas that only surface once a Xenomorph threat is already aboard. This category covers androids and related artificial beings from the movies and Expanded Universe, from classic Weyland-era models to newer corporate lines seen in Alien: Romulus and Alien: Earth. Several articles explore combat-oriented synthetics and experimental designs that pushed the boundary between machine and monster. For the company most closely tied to android development, see Weyland-Yutani and the Weyland family lineage; for the wider prequel context behind synthetic evolution, browse Prometheus Lore.
