Ellen Ripley

Ellen Ripley

Ellen Ripley was chief warrant adviser to the freighter ship Nostromo during a Xenomorph attack. As the sole survivor of the massacre, she’d jettison herself into space on the ship’s escape shuttle, plugging herself into a decades-long hypersleep. Before she could make it back to Earth, however, she would be conscripted to a Xenomorph-infested colony to advise a group of Colonial Marines under the pretense that they were exterminating the creatures. She’d eventually take up arms against the monsters and kill a Xenomorph queen. Unfortunately, during her final hypersleep, Ripley would become infected by a facehugger Xenomorph. She would sacrifice herself on the prison planet Fiorina 161 to prevent the specimen inside of her to be collected by corporate scientists.
