MAJOR SPOILER ALERT (hypothetically) This is not the Engineer's home world.

I'm thinking that David found the Engineer's home world thus fulfilling his promise to Shaw , let whatever events play out with her and the engineers , immersed himself in their civilization as evidenced by his sacrificial Engineers cloak , and upon learning all that he could glean from the Engineer's elders , fled the planet because of an unfortunate planet ending incident that he might or might not have been the perpetrator of , or possibly a civil war between different religious or political sects. If the Covenant crew just happen to stumble upon the Engineer's home world , wouldn't their ships personnel , who are familiar with terra-forming , and equipped with products to substain terra-forming be able to find evidence of the Engineer's civilization via a footprint left behind after their demise ? The Engineer's don't have dwellings, governmental / religious buildings , landing fields , labs , etc ? How can a whole society disappear without a trace ? And upon encountering proof of an alien civilization , even if extinct , that would reset some of the Covenant crews priorities to investigate and our resources into furthering the company's knowledge of this priceless discovery , along with advanced technology. That's not the Engineer's home world.
I think that he might of escaped from the Engineer's home world after unleashing hell on them , and then he and Shaw head to the planet that the Covenant crew is headed to , that he knows Weyland Yutani has terra-formed and is sending a colonization ship to , patiently donning his lab jacket (Sacrificial Engineer cloak) , waiting patiently for his test subjects to enter the planet's solar system after awakening from hyper sleep , with Weyland Yutani being complicit by covertly allowing David to continue with his directive of investigating any alien contact to further the company's agenda , possibly overtly in tandem with Walter.
The Engineer's are beings capable of interstellar travel via technology advanced enough to utilize wormholes , terra-form dozens , hundreds , thousands of planets and make them habitable , and a plethora of other abilities such as gene manipulation , staying in hypersleep for thousands of years , etc. and yet we are to believe that they only inhabit one planet in one solar system and are summarily wiped out ? Maybe. If they are unable to reproduce perhaps or are being exterminated themselves by superior might.
I hope we get a three dimensional portrayal of the Engineer's and their history and culture , because I absolutely think Alien is a sci-fi masterpiece and also loved prometheus , actually more then any film in the Alien franchise with the exception of the original Alien , so you can have both Prometheus scope and science with Aliens horror and grittines hopefully in the upcoming movies. Also , I'm not focusing on what the people involved in the movie are saying , rather what they aren't saying , and I want to be the first to say thay "MAJOR SPOILER ALERT" Danny McBride is a synthetic person ! He's doing a dumb smart cowboy Ash , looking so unlike what you expect in a synthetic. Why do companies with multi-trillion dollars worth of assets in play not send in fail safes in the form of back-up artificial people ? And the spores fit into David knowingly seeding the planet not only with face huggers , but upping the game as he was directed to in his original programming via experimentation. Or maybe he is Peter Pan , think about it , the theme song Nature Boy speaks about finding love at the end of the boy's journey , I believe . What if either through the Engineer's or another means , such as being programmed in such a way that he had less inhibitors than later models of synthetics such as Cal and Bishop , he actually gained a semblance of actual sentience both mentally and possibly emotionally , what if he or Walter is the proverbial father of the bio mechanical xenomorph ? Though I see more of a resemblance with the Xenomorphs and the original space jockey ie Engineer type suit.
i made a thread waiting for approval. according to the closest draft leaked for covenant and info i got my hands on today this is a indigenous race of the engineers...not the higher hierarchy advanced and powerfull ones..also the xeno we think its the perfect organism is not it. we will have the real deal to worship wich the powerfull engineers mastered the black goo chemical with that original creature compounds so with this i imagine the real perfect organism.
i also thought weird how david would wipe out a entire race of engineers just like that xD so inteligente and so powerfull....david a robot made by humans.
so this adds up
also the planet in covenant is just a planet of many..they are everywhere and they are not extint, somewhat like in predators we have the small race yatuja and we have the bigger ones...they look similar but yet diferent. thats what i have and it makes sense to me.
