Alien Covenant is a movie sequel to prometheus, and occurs prior to the events of alien-1979 within the alien-franchise. It follows the saga of the USCSS Covenant, a colony ship. The plot as described by Wikipedia
In 2104, the crew of the colony ship Covenant is bound for a remote planet, Origae-6, with two-thousand colonists and a thousand embryos on-board, which are monitored by Walter, an upgraded synthetic resembling the earlier David. A neutrino burst hits the ship, killing some colonists; Walter orders the computer to wake the crew from stasis, but the captain dies when his pod malfunctions. As the crew repairs the damage, they intercept a human radio transmission from a nearby unknown planet. Against the objection of Daniels, who is the terraforming expert, acting captain Oram decides to investigate, as the planet appears to be even better for colonisation than Origae-6 and the crew is reluctant to return to their stasis pods, paranoid of another neutrino burst.
