Yutani Corporation

"Moving human capital beyond tomorrow."
―Company slogan

The Yutani Corporation was a Japanese cybernetics company founded before or during 2004 and based in Tokyo. In 2099, the Yutani Corporation outbid several other commercial entities to acquire the ailing British Weyland Corp, forming the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

History[]

By 2004, the CEO at the time was Yutani, who acquired a Yautja Plasma Pistol originally owned by Wolf. The Yautja had arrived on Earth to clean up the Xenomorph infestation in Gunnison, Colorado. After being taken from Dallas Howard, Colonel Stevens gave it to Miss Yutani and she utilized it to advance human technology, when the world was ready for the technology.

On December 12, 2029, the Yutani Corporation filed a lawsuit against Weyland Corp over a patent dispute with the David series. Weyland Corp won the David patent lawsuit years later.

By 2030, the company was known to do business with Borgia Industries.[1]

The Yutani Corporation had established thriving colonies on Mars and Titan in the 2030s and by the 2080s its technological progress was comparable to that of the Weyland Corporation. The global technological lead of these two companies were the bulwark of the union of the United Kingdom and Japan (along with other countries), creating the Three World Empire in 2088.[2]

In 2099, Yutani outbid other corporate concerns including the Chinese Jùtóu Combine to acquire Weyland Corp after the failure of the Prometheus mission and the death of Peter Weyland.[3] To assuage unease in the Far Spinward Colonies, it was reported that the merger had occurred in reverse.[4]

Trivia[]

  • According to the Colonial Marines Technical Manual, the Yutani Corporation (or Yutani Corporation assets, following the merger with Weyland Corp) manufactured the faster-than-light drive fitted aboard the USCSS Nostromo.[5]
  • In Peter Briggs' unproduced Alien vs. Predator script, titled The Hunt: Alien vs. Predator, a "Yutani-Templin" company is mentioned, implying that the Yutani Corporation was involved in other corporate mergers in addition to its merger with Weyland-Yutani, and that these other conglomerates are still in operation. However, the exact nature of the company is never elaborated upon, and the script was never produced.
