Two centuries after Ripley's sacrifice, military scientists aboard the USM Auriga clone her from recovered DNA, extracting a Queen xenomorph in the process. The resulting Ripley 8 is stronger and more alien than human, with acidic blood and a psychic link to the hive. A crew of mercenary smugglers unknowingly delivers human hosts for the alien breeding program. When the aliens overrun the ship, Ripley and the mercenaries fight their way to an escape vessel. The Queen — altered by the human DNA in the cloning process — gives live birth to a human-alien hybrid creature called the Newborn, which kills her. Ripley destroys the Newborn by pressing her acidic hand against a porthole, creating a breach that sucks it into space piece by piece. The survivors crash-land on Earth — the first humans to return in centuries.
