SYNOPSIS:
Alien: Dark PlanetUniverse Concept Overall Idea
A human research vessel lands on an unknown planet that has no official name. The crew members refer to it as the Dark Planet.
On this planet, scientists and military personnel discover secret, abandoned Engineer laboratories. In these labs, the Engineers conducted experiments on themselves and their own kind. One of these experiments went horribly wrong: monstrous creatures broke free and destroyed all the Engineers. Over time, these monsters integrated with the planet’s flora and fauna, becoming a new, self-sustaining ecosystem.
Narrative StructureThe story focuses on a team of six characters: scientists, military personnel, and androids. The narrative unfolds as an epic journey through perilous lands, in the spirit of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: the team’s goal is to reach the final destination while overcoming deadly obstacles.
Essentially, this story creates a new, fully realized world within the Alien universe, as detailed and immersive as Middle-earth.
