Derelict (LV-426)



The Derelict is the informal designation for the spacecraft discovered on the Acheron LV-426 moon. In 2369 an unknown warning signal broadcast from The Derelict summoned the Federation freighter Nostromo to the Acheron moon. The Derelict is believed to have crashed on Acheron several millennia prior to the arrival of the Nostromo. The port prong on The Derelict measure 161.6 meters in length and the starboard prong 174.3 meters. The craft is 116.6 meters wide and 61.0 meters wide between the starboard and port prongs. According to official historical records The Derelict was thought to be destroyed in 2369 when the atmospheric processor on the Acheron moon entered meltdown, but it somehow survived and was later explored by a Starfleet Marine squad.
