KG–348 was a Jovian gas giant in the Zeta Reticuli region. After initial scientific surveys of its cloud layers, a rare mix of metallic gases were discovered, amidst the expected Helium–3, leading to further investigation and the heightened possibility of expanding Sevastopol Station, a station in orbit of the planet, into a fully–fledged atmosphere mining facility. After a series of incidents, the station crashed into the planet and burned up in its atmosphere.

Description[]

KG-348 was a Jovian gas giant, its outer layers largely comprised of molecular hydrogen. After initial scientific surveys of its cloud layers a rare mix of metallic gases were discovered amidst the expected helium-3, leading to further investigation and the heightened possibility of expanding Sevastopol Station into a fully–fledged mining facility.[1]

History[]

After hijacking the United Americas colony ship USCSS Covenant in 2104, the android David broadcasted several messages to the Weyland-Yutani Corporation on Earth; the transmissions were amplified through KG–348.[2]

In 2137, Sevastopol's Gemini Exoplanet Solutions module was jettisoned from the station into the planet in an attempt to kill the Xenomorph that was killing those aboard the station, who was sealed inside the module by Amanda Ripley. The plan worked, and the module burned up in the gas giant's atmosphere, killing the creature.[1]

Later, the Anesidora exploded next to the station, damaging the gravity stabilizers and causing the station to begin falling into KG-348. The station was ultimately destroyed when it burned up in the planet's atmosphere.[1]
