Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual<\/h3>\n

“CHECK IT OUT!<\/big>\u00a0WE’VE GOT TACTICAL SMART MISSILES,\u00a0PHASED PLASMA CANNON,\u00a0PULSE RIFLES,\u00a0RPGS; WE’VE GOT NUKES, WE’VE GOT KNIVES,\u00a0SHARP STICKS…!”<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

The United States Colonial Marines. Ultimate trouble-shooters equipped with state-of-the art firepower, capable of power projection across the vast expanse of deep space. They can sharpshoot a man at a thousand meters or obliterate an entire world from the safety of orbit. They reckon they are unbeatable.<\/i><\/p>\n

But on a dirtball colony known only as\u00a0LV-426\u00a0the unthinkable happened.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Marines lost.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Aliens\u2122 Colonial Marines Technical Manual is your official guide to the equipment and organisation of the United States Colonial Marine Corps. Packed with never-before-published diagrams, technical schematics and plans, the manual takes a detailed look at the guns, vehicles and ships of the USCMC, and the men and women who use them.<\/i><\/p>\n

A must for all\u00a0Aliens\u2122 fans, this book examines the technology of the film’s futuristic nightmare in every detail, and tries to discover exactly what went wrong on LV-426.<\/i><\/p>\n

Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

The manual is divided into two sections, the first of which discusses the equipment and armaments used by the Colonial Marines, often accompanied by quotes from various Marine Corps personnel. The manual describes the equipment of the Colonial Marines in great detail, and contains expansive descriptions of the\u00a0M41A Pulse Rifle, the\u00a0UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship\u00a0and the\u00a0Conestoga<\/i>-class\u00a0transport starship (such as the\u00a0USS\u00a0Sulaco<\/i>). While staying faithful to the film, the manual also expands upon a number of topics not depicted on screen, including the heavy weaponry, artillery and\u00a0armor support\u00a0available to the USCM.<\/p>\n

The first section also includes a brief history of human, colonial and military developments of the 22nd century, which subsequently serves as one of the most in-depth sources of background information on the\u00a0Alien<\/i>\u00a0universe\u00a0and its history up to the point of the film series. The manual contains details of the organisational structure of the Colonial Marines, again staying faithful to the films whilst adding and expanding information.<\/p>\n

The second section of the manual consists of a series of message transcripts between\u00a0Weyland-Yutani Corporation\u00a0personnel regarding the events of\u00a0Alien<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Aliens<\/i>, interspersed with technical information on some of the non-military equipment seen in those films, including the\u00a0USCSS\u00a0Nostromo<\/i>\u00a0and the\u00a0Caterpillar P-5000 Work Loader. In particular, the Weyland-Yutani transcripts discuss theories on\u00a0Xenomorph\u00a0biology and how the species may be exploited for monetary and military gain. Presented in chronological order, these transcripts end with a Weyland-Yutani team rediscovering the\u00a0derelict ship\u00a0on\u00a0LV-426, with the final entry being a communiqu\u00e9 from a science team preparing to enter the vessel to investigate.<\/p>\n

Development<\/span><\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Colonial Marines Technical Manual<\/i>\u00a0has its origins in the pages of the “Technical Readout” section of\u00a0Aliens<\/i>\u00a0magazine, produced in the United Kingdom by\u00a0Dark Horse International\u00a0in the early 1990s. The Technical Readout was written and illustrated by\u00a0Lee Brimmicombe-Wood, while his business partner and future editor of the manual,\u00a0Dave Hughes, was the principle contributor of other articles and reviews for the magazine. A significant amount of the\u00a0Colonial Marines Technical Manual<\/i>\u00a0was copied directly from the Technical Readouts, with minor alterations such as changed names. A large amount of new material was also created for the book.<\/p>\n

Numerous photos and illustrations for the manual were produced with use of actual movie props from the film’s armorers, from the personal collection of\u00a0Harry Harris, and from the licensed\u00a0Alien War\u00a0attraction operating in London at the time. For the photographic images included in the manual, the props were modelled by one of the actors who portrayed a Marine at the Alien War attraction. Other material was provided by\u00a020th Century Fox, including illustrations by\u00a0Aliens<\/i>\u00a0production designer\u00a0Syd Mead.<\/p>\n

The publisher of the book,\u00a0Boxtree Ltd., only possessed the rights to material based on the second film in the franchise, but as\u00a0Aliens<\/i>\u00a0refers heavily to the first film (and because 20th Century Fox was so impressed with Brimmicombe-Wood’s work) the studio allowed information regarding the plot and vehicles of\u00a0Alien<\/i>\u00a0to be included as well. However, material prepared for the book based on\u00a0Alien3<\/sup><\/i>\u00a0had to be removed, the only remnant being an oblique reference to the damaged\u00a0Bishop’s remains being recovered following the events of the third film. When\u00a0Titan Books\u00a0published a revised edition of the\u00a0Colonial Marines Technical Manual<\/i>\u00a0in 2012, a piece on the\u00a0escape pod\u00a0seen at the start of\u00a0Alien3<\/sup><\/i>\u00a0was reinstated, presumably because Titan owns the rights to produce merchandise based on all of the films in the franchise.<\/p>\n

Trivia<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • The\u00a0Colonial Marines Technical Manual<\/i>\u00a0notably contradicts dialogue in\u00a0Alien Resurrection<\/i>\u00a0that states\u00a0Ellen Ripley’s actions in\u00a0Aliens<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Alien3<\/sup><\/i>\u00a0effectively wiped out the Xenomorph species (at least to mankind’s knowledge); the book briefly states that the derelict on LV-426 survived the explosion at the end of\u00a0Aliens<\/i>, and that it is subsequently rediscovered by Weyland-Yutani. This plot point would later be followed up in the video game\u00a0Aliens: Colonial Marines<\/i>.<\/li>\n
  • The word unnamed is misspelt “unamed” many times throughout both the original and reprint versions of the book.<\/li>\n
  • The planet\u00a0Thedus\u00a0is spelt “Thetis” in the Weyland-Yutani transcription log.<\/li>\n
  • The book mentions a Marine who is distrustful of androids because they are built by “Cyberdyne or something”, a reference to the\u00a0Terminator<\/i>\u00a0franchise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
