Acheron Hive

==Summary==
The Acheron Hive on LV-426 was established at the colony of Hadley's Hope in 2179, when the settlement was overrun by Xenomorphs. The Xenomorphs, led by the First Acheron Queen, established their Hive in the primary Atmosphere Processing Plant on the moon. The Hive consisted of many Drones, Facehuggers and Ovomorphs.
The Hive was destroyed when the Atmosphere Processor inside which it was located went critical and exploded. All of the Xenomorphs present at the colony were wiped out in the explosion, although other Aliens elsewhere on the planet, coupled with those produced by Weyland-Yutani experiments, would go on to re-infest the colony in short order.
