Derelict

The Juggernaut is a type of spacecraft used by the Engineers. It is seen in the film Prometheus that Juggernauts are kept beneath the surface of LV223 and can be accessed by nearby Alien Temples. It is unknown whether this is also the case on other planets.

There is a crashed Juggernaut on the planet LV426 in the films Alien and Aliens, which has been called the Derelict as it has been abandoned and left in disarray. Although the Derelict has a slightly different layout and architecture, they are presumed to be the same type of ship.

Juggernauts are comprised of several different chambers: A Power Room, a Hibernation Room, an Analysis Room, a Recreational Room, a Containment Chamber, a Sickbay, and an Orrery. They are shown in Alien Covenant (https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Alien:_Covenant) to also contain a chamber from which urns can be deployed from an opening in the ship. This is used in Alien Covenant by David.

During the events of the film, the fist Juggernaut is seen preparing to leave the planet, being piloted by the last surviving Engineer, but is brought down by a final attempt from the captain and remaining onboard crew of the Prometheus to keep it from travelling to Earth. Vickers, who at this point is still onboard the Prometheus, manages to get off ship via an escape pod. Being grounded like this shows that Juggernauts are not impervious to external damage, or at the very least that their internal systems, however they may work, are not resistant to the force of another ship crashing into it.

The final events of the film are Shaw and the still living remains of David travelling to a nearby temple, where Shaw uses the ship stationed at that temple to leave LV223, presumably being guided by David as he is shown to understand the workings of Engineer technology.
