- "Olinka isn't meant to be of any military value. I want to gather the best and brightest to live there, to create wonders for humanity outside of the threat of war."
- ―Jacob Vickers (from Aliens: Vasquez)
E2, formally known as Olinka, was a planet that was claimed and terraformed by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation to resemble Earth before human influence. It was the site of an underground Weyland–Yutani research facility and its above–ground residential counterpart, known as Olinka One.
History[]
The Weyland-Yutani planet, E2, also known as Olinka, had been years in the making with intensive terraforming and the harnessing of its immense geothermal energy, making it similar to Iceland on Earth. The planet, a pet project of the late Weyland Corp CEO Meredith Vickers, was so secret it hadn't been given an LV designation and remained unnamed until her son Jacob Vickers sank his money, time, and energy into Olinka.
