Biography
Ellen Louise Ripley was a female human who was born on January 7, 2092 at Olympia, Luna, that was part of the United Americas.
At some point, she came to be an employee of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation where she was noted to had entered into a brief relationship that led to her having a daughter named Amanda Ripley. She later came to serve as a warrant officer on-board the Nostromo under the command of Captain Arthur Dallas.
Despite her death, her genetic records remained and 200 years later she came to be cloned by scientists of the United Systems Military. This was because her records contained the genetic material of the Alien Queen embryo with the cloning resurrecting the creature in the process. Numerous clones were produced but most of these were failures until Ripley 8 was created who was he only success. From her, the Alien Queen embryo was extracted through surgery and the United Systems Military looked to study and breed the creatures on-board their mobile research ship the USM Auriga. It was discovered that as a result of the cloning that Alien DNA came to be blended with the Ripley clone and similarly her human genetics were inadvertently combined with the Alien Queen making both of them hybrids.
