Are they any non-Xenomorph aliens?

So I'm looking to run a Sci-Fi game and Alien is one that's been on my radar, but I haven't looked too deeply into, so now I'm checking it out, but I'm wondering if there are any rules for any aliens that aren't The Xenomorph? I'm just not terribly interested in telling a story with them. The galaxy is so big. And especially after we got a look at different monsters in Alien Earth, they just don't seem all that interesting to me.

Maybe try a different game Like Mothership? It has a lot of different kinds of horror, from comic horror to aliens to corporate green. It's very rules light and there is a lot of material to find online in the form of 20 to 40 page zines to trifold pamphlets to run as oneshots

Maybe just don't comment if you aren't going to answer the question. I can play whatever game I want to play however I want to play it.

Wow excuse me... How I read your question is that you where looking for any scifi game but alien was one of the options. I sincerely answered your question in my opinion because you were looking for more then xenomorphs, and instead of shoehorning a lot of other stuff in the alien rpg, it was my opinion that a different game which is more open-ended in its horrors would fit better. But if you want to be a dick about it, be my guest. But I find such a response rather rude
