Weyland-Yutani Ships: Guides To Space Vessels
The Weyland-Yutani Ships category explores the most iconic company vessels from the Alien Universe across films, television, and expanded lore. However, not every vessel was operated by Weyland-Yutani. Ships like the USS Sulaco belonged to military forces such as the United States Colonial Marines. From commercial haulers like the USCSS Nostromo to deep-space exploration craft like the Prometheus and Covenant, these ships often served as both lifelines and death traps. Each guide focuses on in-universe history, technical specifications, missions, origins, and the ultimate fate of every vessel or its wreckage.
