"This is commercial towing vehicle Nostromo out of the Solomons, registration number one-eight-oh-niner-two-four-six-oh-niner." ― Ellen Ripley: Alien USCSS Nostromo, registration number 1809246(09), was a modified Lockmart CM-88B Bison M-Class star freighter owned by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and commanded by Captain Arthur Dallas, registered out of Panama. Nostromo operated as a tug, connecting to and pulling loads like a tractor truck rather than carrying those loads on board like a traditional freighter. The ship was destroyed in 2122 when its reactor was set to self destruct by Ellen Ripley in an attempt to kill the lone Xenomorph that was loose aboard the vessel. The ship and its refinery cargo were completely destroyed in the resulting explosion. The apparent disappearance of Nostromo was subject to large amounts of news coverage, with speculation as to the cause of its destruction ranging from stray debris to an "uncatalogued asteroid". However, the truth of the incident was briskly covered up by Weyland-Yutani. Company personnel who had given the ship its secret mission to LV-426 destroyed all records of ever having done so, along with any information regarding the warning signal being transmitted by the derelict ship on LV-426. The signal itself was later deactivated by the crew of USCSS Anesidora. Weyland-Yutani lost a substantial amount of money as a result of the loss of Nostromo, a fact that no doubt helped facilitate the cover up — the incident became a black mark in the company's records, and consequently it was something of a taboo subject amongst employees. Nostromo was relegated to the pages of history, where it went down as being lost without a trace. The ship's fate was finally revealed 57 years later in 2179, when Ripley was rescued. The Nostromo's name was taken from the eponymous hero of the 1904 novel Nostromo by Joseph Conrad. The ship was originally called the Snark, after the Lewis Carroll poem The Hunting of the Snark, then later the Leviathan, before Ridley Scott chose the name Nostromo due to his love of Conrad's works. People and places from Conrad's works would go on to feature repeatedly as the names of space-going vessels in the Alien franchise, inspiring the names of the Narcissus (also from Alien), the USS Sulaco (from Aliens), the USCSS Patna (from Alien3), the USS Verloc (from Aliens versus Predator 2), the USS Marlow (from Aliens vs. Predator) and the USS Sephora (from Aliens: Colonial Marines).
