Description: The USM Auriga, registration number USMRV118, was a top-secret scientific research ship in service with the United Systems Military. It was notably where the USM project to recreate the Xenomorph XX121 species, by cloning the deceased Ellen Ripley, reached its completion.
The ship was ultimately destroyed in 2381 when Annalee Call deliberately set it on a collision course with the Earth, in order to stop the Cloned Xenomorphs on board from spreading and jeopardizing the entire human race.
The USM Auriga was a 2,658 meter-long stealth-capable medical research vessel. It maintained a constant crew of forty-two enlisted soldiers under the command of General Martin Perez, along with a seven-personnel science team led by Dr. Mason Wren. The ship was controlled by an artificial intelligence program, Father, which oversaw the ship's autopilot, life support and and personnel organization systems. The Auriga had a mess hall, sleeping quarters, recreation hall, numerous laboratories and several containment cells used to hold the Xenomorphs that were bred aboard the ship. The vessel also featured numerous maintenance areas, including a large waste tank at the bottom of the ship.
