The Class D crew escape module, also know as an FTL crew escape module, was a self-supporting evacuation vehicle developed by Weyland Corp for the purpose of secure and sustained detachment from its parent vessel.

Specifications[]

Exclusively designed for FTL crafts of a suitable size, this emergency sustaining pod is an embedded safety module comprised of 7 luxury-appointed rooms, complete with independent navigation and piloting controls. Reclaiming decontamination system allows one occupant 50 years of breathable air with or without hypersleep.

Overview[]

Prometheus[]

Class D crew escape module WSS001 served as Vickers' luxury suite aboard the USCSS Prometheus, which stored a holographic background screen, a small bar, and a medpod, as well as a piano and a crystal chandelier. Shaw removed the trilobite from her body in this module at one point in the film. Later, when Vickers escaped the Prometheus, her lifeboat detached from a panel on the ship, and crashed on the surface of LV-223. Afterwards, Shaw went back for equipment, armed with a hatchet. She was attacked by the last Engineer before setting the trilobite on it, whom subdued the Engineer. Later, an alien creature was born.

Chariot of the Gods[]

The USCSS Cronus, being of the same class as the Prometheus, also possessed a FTL module. Instead of a luxury suite, the Cronus' lifeboat was converted into a science module where, in addition to the two science labs, the scientist crew conducted experiments on Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15 and created the 26 Draconis Strain. After the outbreak on the Cronus, the science module was ejected and abandoned on LV-1113.
