Red Queen (Earth-7149)

"Red Queen? I've turned the cooling unit back on. Mother?! The ship will automatically destruct in 5 minutes. You bitch!"

- - Ellen Ripley and Mother

The Red Queen, commonly referred to simply as Red or "RQ", was the a state-of-the-art shipboard artificial intelligence supercomputer of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation freighter USCSS Nostromo, responsible for operating the ship's mainframe and background systems automatically, as well as waking the ship's crew from their cryosleep during emergency situations. Her avatar, a little girl, was based on the daughter of one of Weyland-Yutani's founders.

History
"You're all going to die down here."

- - Red Queen to the survivors of the USCSS Nostromo's crew Implemented aboard the USCSS Nostromo with its retrofitting in 2494, the Red Queen was responsible for handling the operations and inner workings of the freighter.

On June 16th, 2528, the Red Queen worked alongside the Nostromo's science officer Ash, secretly a covert Replicant operative for the Office of Naval Intelligence, to carry on Special Order 937 and ensure the survival of the Alien xenomorph from LV-423, in the Zeta Reticuli system. Unlike Ash, it never explicitly acted against the crew, but helped to hide information.

Red Queen was eventually destroyed when Ellen Ripley activated the Nostromo's self-destruct system in an attempt to kill the Alien.
