Ellen Ripley sacrificed herself to destroy the Company’s desires to use the alien queen as a biological weapon. 200 years and seven horrible experiments later, she is resurrected on the USM Auriga using blood samples from Fiorina 161, for the purpose of extracting the alien queen inside her. However, Ripley’s DNA gets mixed up with the Queen’s DNA and she begins to develop enhanced strength and reflexes. After a band of smugglers, hired by the government, bring the crew of a hijacked transport to the Auriga, all hell breaks loose when the aliens breed from the hijacked crew escape. When the Auriga is set on automatic pilot back to Earth, it’s up to Ripley and the smugglers to stop the Auriga and escape with their lives. And when the Queen’s secret was revealed, it exposed a bizarre DNA mix-up that left both Ripley and the queen’s genetics intertwined; giving light to an alien that could spell doom for Earth.
