I'd rather not have it set down on any worlds, let it take place in whatever space station, bunker that's in the concept art. Re-visitting LV-426 so many times already, it's just pointless fan service. Either create a new world with interesting aspects and stunning visuals, or just set it in the bunker. There's only so many times you can visit the Derelict before it acts more of a "Oh No Not Again!" and I think it's been done to death, just give some creative breathing room.
Look no further than the concept art of Syd Mead, to his first concept of what the Sulaco could be. (Neil loves designs of the sort anyway)
Or set it on a seperate planetoid/planet/moon, near there. Not specifically within Zeta 2 Reticuli. Maybe, just as LV-426 was named Acheron, call this new world, Cocytus. In Greek myth, Cocytus was the river of lamentation that sprung from Acheron, the river of woe. Its sister that sprung from Acheron was, the river of fire, Phlegethon.
But what's interesting about Cocytus, is that it is also, the 9th and
Lowest Circle of Hell in the Divine Comedy.
There are other Giants around the rim that are chained; however Antaeus is unchained as he died before the Gigantomachy. Cocytus is referred to as a frozen lake rather than a river, although it originates from the same source as the other infernal rivers, the tears of a statue called The Old Man of Crete which represents the sins of humanity. Dante describes Cocytus as being the home of traitors and those who committed acts of complex fraud. Depending on the form of their treachery, victims are buried in ice to a varying degree, anywhere from neck-high to completely submerged in ice. Cocytus is divided into four descending "rounds," or sections:
Caina, after the Biblical Cain; traitors to blood relatives.
Antenora, after Antenor from the Iliad; traitors to country.
Ptolomea, after Ptolemy, governor of Jericho, who murdered his guests (1 Maccabees); traitors to guests. Here it is said that sometimes the soul of a traitor falls to Hell before Atropos cuts the thread, and their body is taken over by a fiend.
Satan is at the center of the circle buried waist-high in ice.
That would, not be a great idea, great setting, you could do, so much with that. Especially it being such a tongue in cheek name for what seem to be events leading to the thing they were trying to stop, the company getting hold of an entire Derelict.
