The Shinyo Maru[1] was a ship of unknown class privately-owned by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. It was the second vessel that rediscovered the derelict ship on Acheron (LV-426) following the disastrous mission to Hadley's Hope in 2179.[1] It was sent to ascertain the status of the Atmospheric Processing Plant.
