Summary
The daughter of Ellen Ripley, Amanda Ripley was an engineer for Weyland-Yutani, living a living normal life until the day she received the information that the flight recorder of the Nostromo, the ship her mother had embarked on and never come back from when Amanda was only 10, was recovered by the salvage ship Anesidora and taken to the Sevastopol Station, which Ripley immediately chose to travel to.
However, upon boarding Sevastopol, she found herself stranded on the mysteriously run-down ship, slowly coming to learn that it had entered a state of anarchy after Anesidora brought a mysterious creature on board. Facing nigh-unsurmountable odds, Amanda managed to survive many encounters with the alien creature as well as the many other threats of the Sevastopol Station, eventually being the only one to survive its destruction out of its thousands of inhabitants.
