The emblem of the USM.
The United Systems Military (USM) was the military arm of the United Systems, founded in 2226.[1] The USM represented the unification of every military organization on Earth. The USM was both a martial and diplomatic organisation, serving to maintain peaceful relations throughout the United Systems. The reach and power of the USM outmatched most colonial militaries. Following the destruction of the USM Auriga and the resulting devastation it caused to Earth, the USM collapsed in a coup led by the revived Weyland-Yutani Corporation.[2]
The USM Auriga
The USM Auriga was a research vessel under the jurisdiction of the USM. Its commanding officer was General Martin Perez. The scientists on board the ship were conducting illegal research on Xenomorphs, including breeding. The ship was ultimately overtaken by Xenomorphs and abandoned.
