I've always wanted to see the aliens home world and why it would need acid blood. I'd imagine it to be very Giger-ish too. However a world that is very alien would be what I'd want to see. Kind of tired of space stations and facilities. I want fantasy.
Given their biology, a xenomorph homeworld would have to be:
1. Almost pitch black to negate the need for eyes or so close to a star than anyone's optic nerves would be fried immediately
2. Little to no oxygen or an atmosphere so toxic that traditional breathing is impossible
3. Absolutely ferocious competition between species, far more than what is seen on Earth, to necessitate the need for a body built for constant combat and a fast growth period
4. Volatile, dangerous environment that would necessitate a tough, heavily adaptable frame
5. Minimal access to constant, large amounts of food, necessitating an ability to go into semi-hibernation at a moment's notice (and to wake up quickly from said hibernation)
6. Organisms as dangerous or more so than xenomorphs to necessitate all of their defense capabilities
Basically, it would have to be hell in every sense of the word.
