Kamchatka (Earth-7149)

Kamchatka was one of the seven natural satellites of the gas giant Hesiod, in the M-344/G system. It was owned by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation through one of its subsidiaries, the Concordance Extraction Corporation, and was home to the mining and research outpost Con-Am 27.

History
Colonized by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation in 2543, the company opened up space for a mining and research operation after the discovery of multiple rich elements and materials in the surface of the moon. Con-Am 27 was commissioned by the Concordance Extraction Corporation in 2546 following the discovery of a network of underground structures on the planet and for environmental research.

In winter 2557, the outpost was infiltrated by the extraterrestrial xenomorph species, leading to the death of all of its personnel. In a desperate attempt to prevent the xenomorphs from escaping and spreading beyond, the three survivors - Ellen Ripley, Barrie Montone, and Tyler Nauls, decided to destroy the outpost by planting explosives at its generator room. The ensuing violence led to Ripley become the only survivor, who was able to escape from the destruction aboard MacReady's D81-LRT Condor.

Wandering in space for the next three years in cryosleep, Ripley was encountered in the M-344/G system by an exploring crew in 2560.
