Sevastopol Station

Why Seegson sold out the Sevastopol Station to Weyland-Yutani?

[NinthElement]

The logs in the game reveal that Seegson were desperately seeking a buyer for a while... WY purchased it for their own very specific agenda. This topic probably needs a spoiler warning btw

I fininished the game so no problem with spoilers.I know that WY bought the Sevastopol station because they wanted the xenomorph and once they bought it they can introduce the Special Order 937 in the Apollo core

Well, that's pretty much it.

Seegson built Sevastopol during a period when everybody was building space stations, kind of like a futuristic version of the gold rush in America where everybody was striking out to find their own gold mines.

Seegson built Sevastopol very cheaply, cutting many corners to get the price down as much as possible, so even when it was freshly built it was a heap of junk and nothing worked properly. The two main attractions were the KG348 labs, which were built to harvest metals and so forth from the gas giant, but nobody ever purchased it so I don't think it was ever used, and the other main thing they did was build Working Joe androids, but Weyland-Yutani androids were so much better that nobody ever bought those either. So Sevastopol was a huge loss for Seegson right from the beginning, and eventually they put it up for sale, but again nobody bought (because it sucked).

There's a high level Seegson employee named Ransome who knows that Sevastopol is doomed (as in, it will be dismantled) and he is scared he will lose his job and not get another high up job afterwards, so when Marlow brings his wife on board Sevastopol (with facehugger attached), Ransome secretly contacts Weyland-Yutani to tell them about the new species and how deadly it is, and he hopes that Wey-Yu will give him a better job. I guess he didn't tell Seegson about the new species because he knew Seegson were about to go bankrupt and would have nothing to offer him.

Unfortunately for Ransome (and everybody else) Weyland-Yutani sees all human life as expendable, so instead of getting him off Sevastopol they just leave him and everybody else to die so that there are no witnesses when they go to pick up their new species. The ship light we see on Ripley's helmet at the end of the game is PROBABLY the Weyland-Yutani ship arriving to collect their specimen, with scientists and mercenaries on board.

So that's pretty much it. Wey-Yu buys Sevastopol immediately as soon as Ransome tells them about the alien on station.

According to the log Tomorrow, Together #1
"Sevastopol began as a freeport, built by Lorenz SysTech Development and funded by our friends at GeoFund Investor". Seegson then took over following "Years of mismanagement" and turned it into "the buzzing cosmopolitan hub you see today"

For about 10 minutes anyway

Ah ha, I haven't played for about a year and a half, I must've begun to mingle Isolation's history with that of another game or something. I think the rest is true though.
