LV-426

LV-426
LV-426 is a moon orbiting the planet "Calpamos" in the Zeta2 Reticuli Star System 39 light years away from Earth. The Xenomorph from Alien originated here. By early 2179 the main colony,"Hadley's Hope," housed 158 people before the Xenomorph outbreak.

SPECIES
LV-426 Is not the Xenomorph's Home world, which will be explained in Alien: Covenant. An Engineer simply just crash-landed on the surface of the moon with the Xenomorph eggs in the cargo hold.

BEHIND THE SCENES
The crew members of the Nostromo just refer to the rock as a planetoid.

The moon was originally going to be in Prometheus. But was changed to LV-223, the moon that orbits the same planet as LV-426.
