Alien Universe Computers: Ship & Station AI Mainframes

Ship and station computers in the Alien universe run flight, air, and company files, and they can hide orders that override the crew. MU/TH/UR 6000, called Mother, was the Weyland-Yutani mainframe on the USCSS Nostromo. FAR/TH/UR 2600, called Father, was the later United Systems Military core on the USM Auriga. Later hulls and platforms reused the Mother name under other numbers, including cheaper copies such as APOLLO on stations like Sevastopol. For the vessels those cores ran, see Alien Universe Ships and Alien Universe Space Stations.

FAR/TH/UR 2600: The Auriga Father Computer


FAR/TH/UR 2600, called Father, was the United Systems Military mainframe on the USM Auriga in Alien: Resurrection. After the outbreak it locked an Earth return. Annalee Call overrode that course from the chapel, and Father finished the impact countdown in 2381.
