Xeno City was a mysterious ancient city located beneath the surface of the Frontier world of Lethe. A number of Xenomorph eggs were situated in Xeno City, including giant variants.
History[]
The actual history of Xeno City and its inhabitants is unknown. Thought just a speculation, long before the human settlement on Lethe, the Ancients either bred the Xenomorphs for specific purposes, or their moon fell victim to rival species and the Xeno city succumbed to the infestation of Xenomorphs who adapted to their morphology[1]. All inhabitants of Xeno City died out while Titan, and large number of Ovomorphs, including giant variants remained dormant.
Discovery[]
After unknown periods of time, the Xeno City was uncovered by miners and was researched by Marlow who became obsessed with the biomechanical city.
In 2198 a group of Colonial Marines went into the Xeno City in search of Cassandra. The trio managed to find Cassandra but were attacked by a giant Xenomorph that was born from one of the deceased inhabitants of the Xeno City. With the help of Harper, Maeko, and Cassandra managed to escape the massive Xenomorph and leave the Xeno City just in time. The following nuclear blasts most likely destroyed the City.
Behind the scenes[]
Xeno City is an homage to H.R. Giger. According to the narrative designer and writer Thibaut Claudel, he visited the Giger museum in Gruyères, Switzerland and while browsing the gallery, he took some photos of some of the paintings which depicted a city in a Giger style and sent it to the Tindalos team for inspiration in creating the Xeno City[2].
