Aegis VII Queen (Earth-9471)

"Each one of these things comes from an egg, right? So who's laying these eggs? I'm not sure. It must be something we haven't seen yet."

- - Ellen Ripley and Bishop

The Aegis VII Queen was a xenomorph Queen born on the human colony Aegis VII thousands in years in the past under dormancy. Following the outbreak on the settlement of New Alexandria, it led the xenomorphs on the planet, later encountering and facing a unit of the United States Colonial Marine Corps aboard the Conestoga-class light destroyer USS Sulaco.

Birth
In the initial stages of the outbreak at New Alexandria, on Aegis VII, the Queen, who had been laying dormant in the depths of LV-426 for seemingly thousands of years, quickly establishing a nest within the secret Weyland-Yutani Corporation facility known as the Hive. Once it reached its full size, it started creating Ovomorphs from the human corpses and all calcium it could moister, creating hundreds of Drones and Warriors that brought any surviving humans as hosts.

Aegis VII Incident
After the 2nd Battalion Bravo Team, a squad of the United States Colonial Marine Corps led by Lieutenant Scott Gorman, was dispatched to Acheron VII alongside Ellen Ripley to investigate the loss of contact with the colony, the Marines were nearly all slaughtered by the xenomorphs after an ambush inside the crater, and the few survivors were forced to retreat. During the ensuing battle, the Queen remained unknown to the humans, although Ripley and the synthetic Bishop theorized the existence of an "unseen alien" that was producing more Ovomorphs.

The creature later came into contact with Ripley, who stormed the nest to save Rebecca "Newt" Ashford, the last survivor of New Alexandria. Alone and armed with a single M240 flamethrower, Ripley "reasoned" with the Queen, threatening to kill it and the Ovomorphs. Understanding the danger, the Queen signaled its xenomorphs to ignore the humans and allowed them to go. Ripley, however, proceeded to destroy the entire hive with the flamethrower. Enraged, the Queen detached from the hive and pursued the humans.
