Okay, heres the deal... I think that Weyland-Yutani knew full well what was going on at Hadley's Hope in 2179, hoping Ripley would fall foul to the Xenomorphs, and the Colonial Marines and Carter Burke would successfully obtain a specimen, or two of the creature. With another ship prepared for departure once they had confirmation (same vessel in Alien 3). Heres why... 2122 - At the end of Alien Ripley broadcast the "Last survivor of the Nostromo" recording. 2159 - Hadleys Hope Colony is established on LV-426 2179 - Contact with Hadleys Hope is lost, travelling from Earths Gateway Station the USS Sulaco arrives there 17 days later. 2179 - Ripley is sole survivor of the ejected EEV on Fiorina 161. Weyland-Yutani vessel despatched with 7 day flight time, upon receipt of Ripleys chest scan they hasten, arriving within 24 hours. 2179 - Ripleys Nostromo recording reaches Fiorina 161. Wait for it... Hadleys Hope colony on LV-426 was fitted with CCTV cameras (remember scene where Burke turns off the monitor). Thus I believe the Company recieved the footage from these cameras, probably encrypted, and once the colony had been overrun they sent in the Marines, having already seen the Aliens infest the colony. Remember, when the marines arrived the colony still had power, and thus would have still been broadcasting. This would explain... 1. How the Company knew of the existence of the Queen Alien in Alien 3. 2. Why the WY vessel was ready at a moments notice to "rescue" Ripley. 3. How they knew that Ripley had warmed to Bishop, despite her history with Ash.

What I am am saying Cypher is that because of the CCTV cameras throughout Hadley's Hope W-Y would have seen the Xenomorph infestation take place and therefore will have undoubtabley caught footage of the Queen. Therefore, when they recieved Ripleys medscan data from the EEV, they would have compared it to the medscan data from the Nostromo and realised that Ripley was incubating a Queen Embryo, thus ordering the W-Y vessel assigned to pick up Ripley to hasten its journey, their prize in reach.

I believe that 57 years previously the Company sent Nostromo on a covert mission to locate the alien. But, when she never turns up, the execs get nervous as they've lost an expensive ship and crew for nothing. So, they purge the files, and shred everything, quietly forgetting the matter. When Ripley is recovered, anyone with any knowledge of the Nostromo mission is long-gone, and everyone thinks she's lying to cover her own incompetence, or crazy. Ironically, Burke seems to have spent the most time with her, and has a gut feeling that she's telling the truth. Seeing dollar signs, he decides on his own initiative to get the colony to send an expedition. The colony is then overwhelmed, and sometime during this the transmitter is damaged. As the USCM have no idea of the threat, this must have happened before any distress call was sent. The Company could not have known the full details at this time, as Alien 3 shows they have their own ships and military, so would not need the USCM.
