In the film, a team of scientists aboard the USM Auriga develop a clone of Ellen Ripley, using DNA samples recovered from her body more than two-hundred years earlier when she died. As Ripley was infested with a Xenomorph queen at the time of her death, the clone, dubbed Ripley 8, also had Xenomorph DNA mixed in with the human genetic code. The scientists aboard the Auriga sought to weaponize this biological accomplishment for military purposes. Ripley 8 found herself aligned with a team of mercenaries from a ship called the Betty.
