Many comments on the lair have been saying different possibilities for the relation of the "space Jockey" race with the aliens. Were they their master's, creators, or invaders?
However, this topic is not of the Aliens, but of the predators.
After reading a starcraft booklet thing (found it under a pile of books a while back), I ran across a part about the history of the protoss and Zerg, which mentioned a race of super advanced scientists who tried to create the perfect species. Then, I realized the possibility of a race similar to this, intervening in Predator history, in trying to create either a supreme race or (most likely) a supreme warrior/ fighting force.
I am not saying that the race could be the Space Jockey/ Pilot, but, who knows?
Anyway, heres the idea.
When earth was still a rocky plane full of pre historic beasts (prior to dinosaurs), the predators were a clan divided society of warriors living in an almost early Babylonian like era. They hunted the vicious creatures of their world, while also having occasional tribal wars amongst themselves; while developing small mud based hut/ housings which eventually developed to large rock structures.
During this time a highly advanced and scientific alien race watched over them in curiosity. Though they were intelligent and advanced, there were still brutal religious wars within their race, that devastated populations from horrific wars. Due to this, they needed more warriors desperately and turned to their science and power for they're answer. Soon enough, the magnificent ships descended down to the predator homeworld. The hunter's at first, assumed that these were some form of hunter god. However, due to the creatures lack of resemblance, the hunter's quickly grew suspicious. Many of the more intellectually advanced clans had the idea that these beings were possibly from the heavens they so pondered about. Before any decent attack could be formed by the hunter's, the race followed up with they're plans of dominance and enslavement. Under a span of 2 years, the hunter's were fully enslaved and were laced with behavioral collars so they would not turn on their masters. With their new found warriors, their faction of the religious wars, grew victorious .
However, though the hunter's were restrained from revolution, they still advanced mentally as any race would. Especially when the hunter's were not only used as warriors, but also as mechanics, pilots, engineers, and weapons makers.
So, after the end of the civil wars of the "great" race, the hunter's believed that it was possible that they could finally return home, since they were no longer needed for war. Unfortunately, the race's agenda was different. Due to the longevity and strength of the creatures, the race wished to keep enslaving them for simply making life easier. This, unsurprisingly, did not go well with the hunter's.
While the slaves were fixing or repairing the ships and cities of their owners, a hunter ran across the "blue prints" of the conditioning collars the predators wore. After close examination, the predator was able to remove the device. Almost instantaneously, the freed hunter was able to enlighten the other enslaved which, in no time, led to over 80% of the slaves to be freed, and ready for war. This is were the hunter's had to keep patience for a right time to strike. After waiting 6 months, the predators found their opportunity.
On a barren world of almost endless minerals and natural resources, there were a hostile race of creatures that endangered the race from its goals. So, they rallied their slave/ warriors for the job. After arming the strongest and most experienced of them with the strongest weaponry, the predators have finally reached the moment they were waiting for. After one of the most oldest warrior/ ex-slaves turn to fire on the observation deck in the hanger bay, all of the warriors happily used this as a spark to begin their revolt. In a matter of moments, the softened and lazy former masters were mutilated, skinned, beheaded, and decimated; while the hunter's took over the ship.
After this, revoluton spread like a virus over any city, ship, or station holding predators.
Soon, the hunters gathered a decent fighting fleet, while the small section of the race not containing slaves, quickly came to counter the revolt. To their surprise, the hunter's navigated and fought extraordinarily well. After a brief battle, the hunter fleet chased away their former masters and began hunting them at any corner of the galaxy, gathering millions of trophies, until they were completely exterminated.
The hunter's celebrated as their century of enslavement was finally over. After some discussion, the predators divided into clans and chose sections of the galaxy they wished to "own."
While some wished to return to the old ways of primitive society, most agreed that such a thing was impossible due to their long period near such advanced technologies. Then, they realized the possibility of combining both thoughts; to go back to the old hunting ways but use their knowledge of technologies to hunt on a galactic level and find new and even more vicious prey to hunt.
In the time to come, they would get their former armor and ships and change them to the design they saw fit, while they went on with their ancient customs.
Thats basically the idea.
AS a side note
If the race that did this WERE the pilot/ space Jockey, then heres something else.
The pilot created a perfect fighting race, the Alien/ xenomorph. They then, used this prototype creature and tested them against their predator slaves in rings and battles. During this time the hunter's much revered the amazing strength of these aliens and even wished they could hunt them freely. After the revolution began, a carrier ship holding a host of captured eggs, tried to escape but was shot down. After crashing on a rocky barren world, the alien containments got loose and took over the ship. So, thats how that ship in Alien got there, and thats how the primordial race of hunter's were first intergalactically introduced with the aliens.
What do you think happened?
