    Jun 8, 2012 - Prometheus/Alien question - what does "LV" stand for? #1
    Just curious. I've read a number of sites (mosty message boards) where people take a guess, but can't seem to find anything authoritative.

    Thanks,

    I think he's referring to the planetary designation - LV-426

    According to Cameron, the LV in that sense, had no meaning and was used only as to enhance the notation of navigation.

    A lot of planets and stars have odd prefixes like that, i think it makes it easier for them to catalog them.

    My guess would be it calls out an area of space, LV-426 meaning the 426th star of the LV Sector/Quadrant/Hemisphere.


    But thats just my nerdy guess.

    Louis Vuitton

    In Ridley Scott's future, corporations run things instead of governments. Maybe Louis Vuitton manufactures spacesuits in exchange for naming rights of planets as marketing.
