History[]
Crested Butte was a small town located in Gunnison County in Colorado. It did not maintain a municipal police force and had to rely upon the staff and resources of the Gunnison County Sheriff's Department. In October, 2004, a Predator mother ship crash-landed in the forests outside Crested Butte. Although the Yautjas that commanded the ship had already died, an alien hybrid known as a Predalien was set loose. The ship also contained specimens of Xenomorph facehuggers. Once the facehuggers were freed from containment, they were able to find human host bodies from which to propagate their species. An elder Yautja known as "Wolf" discovered what had happened to the downed ship and came to Earth to eradicate the Xenomorph infestation and remove all evidence of his people's presence. When the National Guard and the OWLF learned about the Xenomorph infestation, it was determined that the only way to contain the species was to launch a low-yield nuclear device in the center of the city. Only four residents of Crested Butte managed to evacuate the town and survive the explosion.

When the town was being over-run by Xenomorphs, Yautjas and a "Predalien", the American military decided to take action, sending in the National Guard. Sheriff Eddie Morales contacted Colonel Stevens and requested emergency evacuation. Stevens told him to rendezvous at Gilliam Circle. This was a ruse however, as Stevens had no intention of evacuating the town. Instead, he authorized the use of a low-yield nuclear weapon to destroy the town and contain the threat. All but four civilians from Crested Butte were killed in the blast.
