Geryon

Sign in to edit
"I'm told that Geryon was the son of Medusa. He had one body and three heads, which fits, since we have three ships docked to the core."
―Clara Atkinson (from Prometheus: Fire and Stone)

The Geryon was an engine core spacecraft registered to Weyland-Yutani Corporation. As an engine core, it was used to move groups of smaller vessels through interstellar space. In 2217, the Geryon was used to transport the command ship Helios, the salvage ship Kadmos, and the patrol ship Perses to LV-223 in search of the missing USCSS Prometheus under the guise of a routine salvage mission. After disasters and deaths, the Geryon was last known to be abandoned in orbit around the moon. Along with the Kadmos, with a Yautja ship attached to it.

History[]

In 2090, Sir Peter Weyland sent a probe to collect and transmit environmental information about LV-223, one of three moons of the gas giant Calpamos located in the Zeta Reticuli System. Ultimately, the probe was destroyed by a Engineer and stopped relaying information.

In 2217, the Geryon set out on a two-year journey toward LV-223 to retrieve a lost research vessel. On January 14, 2219, the Geryon was orbiting the moon. Unbeknownst to the rest of the crew, Captain Angela Foster had her own agenda — to find the USCSS Prometheus and finish what Weyland and the rest of his crew started 125 years earlier.

After discovering the Onager, the crew unknowingly released the Xenomorphs inside, leading to injuries and facehuggings. As they retreated across a stone bridge, four crew members fell into the water, where two were killed and two were injured by Deacon Sharks.

After returning to the Geryon, the crew launched a rescue mission to find Francis Lane and Elden, who were missing. However, Xenomorphs attacked the Helios, and later were let on board by Elden. Galgo Helder and his team aboard the Perses, then abandoned the crew on LV-223 and murdered two crew members and Traynor aboard the Kadmos. A small group of survivors were able to escape from the Helios, but were killed by the Xenomorphs.

On January 22, as Galgo and his team prepared to leave LV-223, Elden aboard the Helios with Xenomorphs, boarded the Geryon, while a Yautja hunting party boarded the Kadmos. Some of the Synthetics were then killed by the Yautja. The Xenomorphs then breached the sickbay, killing Lucy, Woodbell and four others. Galgo and his team then fled aboard the Perses. As Elden ejected the Kadmos from the Geryon, a Yautja shot a Xenomorph that he was holding. The Xenomorph blood breached the hull, damaging the ship and forcing Elden to flee to the Geryon. Later, after killing the Mutated Yautja, Francis dies, leaving Elden alone aboard the Helios with the Xenomorphs.

On January 23, Galgo's team were killed trying to kill a Yautja named Ahab, who then forced Galgo to take him to LV-223, to hunt a Engineer. Later, on January 31, Ahab used his Self-Destruct Device to kill the Engineer, destroying the Perses.

On April 9, Elden aboard the Helios, crash lands on LV-223, destroying the ship.

After a long time stranded and surviving, Galgo and Jill are rescued by the Hasdrubal, while Foster left aboard a Juggernaut, without the Engineer knowing.
