Destroyer of Worlds is the second "Adventure Module" for Alien: The Roleplaying Game, published by Free League Publishing. It was written by Andrew E. C. Gaska.
Publisher's Summary[]
The mission was a manhunt, the objectives clear—track down four fugitives, recover any assets they may have made off with, and keep ‘em all out of enemy hands. Go find them on a frozen moon full of hostiles and get it done on the eve of war. Nothing you couldn’t handle.
But what it is that these bastards stole—and how the hell it got inside them—is another thing altogether. It’s all above your paygrade, marine—but somehow you’re the one who’s got to deal with it.
Of course, now there’s an invasion fleet incoming, and there’s something else, too—something much worse. Something out there hates you—hates everyone. Something big and ugly. Something with metal teeth—and you’re pretty sure it ain’t alone.
Yeah, the mission was supposed to be a simple manhunt. Instead it turned out to be just another glorious day in the corps.

Trivia[]
- The scenario's name is inspired by Robert Oppenheimer's quote "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” after witnessing the first detonation of a nuclear weapon on July 16th 1945.
- The Bodyburster is seemingly a reference to the Hybrid from Alien 3: The Unproduced Screenplay, sharing it's method of birth, more human-like face, infectious bite and hostility towards normal Xenomorphs.
