The USCSS Nostromo is a freight ship that first appeared in the the 1979 film Alien
Nostromo was owened by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and piloted by Arthur Dallas. The crew consisted of Gilbert Kane, Ellen Ripley, Ash, Joan Lambert, Dennis Parker, Samuel Brett, and Jones, the ship's cat.
After Nostromo's computer "Mother", picked up a distress signal, the crew was awakened from hypersleep. They responded to it, investigating planet LV-426. While there, Kane was attacked by an alien that attached itself to his face. Initially Ripley refused to allow him to board, despite a direct order form Dallas, but Ash let them board anyway.
Not long after, the alien fell from his face and he awakened. Within a few hours, an alien that had been incubating in his chest burst out and disappeared into the ship. One by one, the crew were killed until Ripley escaped in the Narcissus with Jones. The Nostromo self-destructed, causing an immense explostion.
