Ali "Berry" Beresford was the communications and scan specialist aboard the UNIC Hornblower during its final expedition. While investigating a derelict alien spacecraft, multiple crew members encountered the Xenomorph species hibernating inside, unleashing a chain of events that ended in the death of many crew members, including Eusebius, the destruction of the Hornblower, the alien derelict, and the Chinese/Asian-Nation Cooperative starship Glorious Sun.
