Joshua Claveria

Joshua Claveria was a professional chef and mechanic in the Andromeda Crew. He would experience the Xenomorph event on the Andromeda in 2219 and die second to the alien.

Early Life
Josh grew up with a normal life with very strict parents when it came to school grades. When he became an adult, Josh used his culinary skills to land a job and was found by Weyland Yutani. They hired Josh to become a cook for the U.C.S.S. Andromeda.

The Alien Encounter
When the Andromeda landed on LV-117 to help a small colony on company orders, Collin Hunter, a fellow crew member, was attacked and impregnated with an alien embryo from a face hugger. When he was brought back to the ship and the crew took off from the planet, a Xenomorph drone was birthed from Collin, killing him in the process. The alien ran away and hid deep in the sheep to grow bigger. Joshua was in a panic state and told his crew members and captain Bruce that he did not want to search for the alien. He decided to begin cooking a meal to take his mind off the tragedy that had just took place. Josh began to cook in the kitchen while everyone else searched the ship for the alien.

Death
As Joshua was cooking a meal in the kitchen, the Xenomorph had traveled through the vents after it grew into an adult. The alien surprised Josh as he was cooking and quickly began to kill him. It smashed Josh's head inside of the oven and burned his skin off. Bruce and some of the others heard him scream and ran to the kitchens. Before they could arrive, Josh was taken into the vents to be cocooned and would die later on in the alien nest.

Cut Content
In the Alien Lost World, originally Rose was going to stumble upon the alien nest on Deck 4 and discover the cocooned bodies of Tim and Josh.

Trivia
