A tad off-topic, but I'm going through the rule book now and really enjoying it. Not sure how well it fits with the films but I like the world it's building. Got a kick out of finding Pandora and Arcturus in the star map :)

Now that you found it on the map, could you please point me in the right direction towards some Arcturian Poontang?  :P

I'm curious about Pandora, has it had any significance in the Alien franchise? I don't remember hearing about a planet called Pandora.

Pandora was from avatar... it's probably a coincidences :-)

That's exactly my point - this book was released some 18 years before Avatar, so the fact it talks about a colonised planet named Pandora is a neat coincidence :)

Doubt it's ever appeared outside of this book/game.

I also got reminded of Pandora from Avatar so it's a nice coincidence.

As an aside one of Saturn's moons is called Pandora, discovered in 1980 and named in 1985.  Also named in 1985 was Prometheus.

The wait is killing me! I keep hoping I'll see an email form Amazon that it has shipped early.  :laugh:

I have it preordered digitally so come the morning of release  lets just say that there will be some slacking at work  :D

I've read it. About a third of the stories do not deal with Aliens.

There's an amusing story devoted to how the Marine Pulse Rifle was created.

Ultramorph

Any stories in unusual time periods (really early or late)?
