The interior features a large 'space jockey' cockpit for all crew piloting functions, a medical bay, dining area, central computer room, engineering areas, a hypersleep chamber and a labyrinthine network of connecting corridors. (Many moviegoers have often mistaken the four-towered refinery as being the Nostromo itself and the Nostromo, when it detached itself from the refinery, as the shuttle Narcissus.) The crew consists of seven people from various fields. In the order credited, they include Captain Dallas (Tom Skerritt), Warrant Officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), Navigator Lambert (Veronica Cartwright), Engineering Technician Brett (Harry Dean Stanton), Executive Officer Kane (John Hurt), Science Officer Ash (Ian Holm), and Chief Engineer Parker (Yaphet Kotto). There is also a tiger-striped orange tabby cat named Jones (often called \"Jonesy\" by the crew). The ship is equipped with a MU-TH-R 182 model 2.1 terabyte AI Mainframe (called \"Mother\" by the crew). At the beginning of the first film, the ship is on a course returning to Earth from Thedus, using a form of FTL drive that requires the crew to spend most of the journey in \"hypersleep\" in order to conserve the ship's limited resources (food/water/air). At the end of the film, Ellen Ripley destroys the Nostromo in an attempt to kill the xenomorph."@en . "164.6 m"@en . "One Laratel 2.8 terawatt WF-15 fusion reactor"@en .
