"Everybody onboard the Onager! We're leaving! Now!"
―Derrick Russell (from Aliens: Fire and Stone)

The Onager, registration number VD12456CD0C, was a Lock-Mart Industries Model 439SL Class 7 Excavator Vessel originally used by colonists of Hadley's Hope on Acheron for drilling ore, ferrying cargo to low orbit for pickup, and not much else. But it could get off the surface, which was enough for some of the colonists of Hadley's Hope, who used the Onager as a makeshift escape vehicle to ferry themselves off planet, when the colony was infested by Xenomorphs in 2179. 

History[]

When the colony of Hadley's Hope was overrun by a horde of Xenomorphs on July 3, 2179, the Onager was used as a makeshift escape vehicle that traveled to, and ultimately crash landed on LV-223. There were thirty-eight colonists, surveyors, and miners onboard when the Onager set down on the moon the company designated LV-223.

Before escaping LV-426, Xenomorphs snuck into the ship's cargo bay, and were later released by the unknowing surviving colonists who were stranded on LV-223. At least six of them were dead inside of ten minutes. Some were dragged away screaming. The Xenomorphs would continue to capture or kill survivors afterwards.

On September 12, three survivors who were fishing were attacked by a Xenomorph, dragging Luiz to the underwater depths, they were exposed to a mysterious alien pathogen that fused them together. On October 30, they then attacked the survivors camp before they were killed.

Later, Nolan and three others, attempted to kill the Xenomorphs in the Onager and recover supplies and a transmitter to call for help, only to discover a Hive onboard. The group was killed and Nolan was exposed to the black goo outside the ship, mutating into a Anathema. Later, on October 31, the mutated Nolan lead a attack of Xenomorphs on the survivors hidden camp at night, leaving Derrick the only survivor, who was in a hidden cave, in a mountain during the attack.

On December 19, after burying the dead, he was attacked by the mutated Nolan who he managed to kill, only to then be attacked and killed by a group of Xenomorphs. Later, the Xenomorphs somehow became trapped in the Onager.

In 2219, the ship was discovered by the salvage crew of the Geryon, sent to recover the USCSS Prometheus. However, they were attacked by the Xenomorphs that where trapped inside the ship, resulting in the loss of many crew members. The ship's mining capabilities was later used by Captain Angela Foster, Galgo, Elden and the Yautja Ahab to tunnel inside the mountain (which turned out to be a Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15-mutated Deacon), hoping to find the wreck of the Prometheus within. Once inside the mountain, however, acid blood from one of the Deacon's veins began eating through the Onager, though the group still managed to pilot the ship into a smaller tunnel, where it was abandoned.
