In the film before, 'Alien' she and her crew were in a towing vehicle called Nostromo heading back to Earth, intercepts an SOS signal from a nearby planet, the crew are under obligation to investigate. After a bad landing on the planet, some crew members leave the ship to explore the area. At the same time as they discover a hive colony of some unknown creature, the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a warning, not a call for help. When one of the eggs is disturbed, the crew do not realize the danger they are in.
Ripley was the last to survive and managed to blow the alien out of the spaceship, leaving no proof to be found.
In this film 'Aliens' Ripley was found hyper-sleeping for 50 years in space, and hasn't aged since she went to sleep. She is taken back to Earth, where she learns that a human colony was founded on the same planet where the aliens were first found. After contact with the colony is lost, she finds herself sent back to the planet along with a team of warriors bent on destroying the alien menace forever, and saving any survivors -- if any remain.The costumes being worn by the crew are camouflaged trousers and shirts, helmets, black boots and a vest holding all of their ammunition. Their uniforms convey a sense of power and showed them as being ruthless, possibly even fearless. The equipment they carried consisted of torches on their shoulder, a headset and mic and guns with ammo.
Ripley, Gorman and Burke were the operating team as they were specialised in handling the ship, ensuring safety measures, they were unarmed. They all wore a more plain outfit, more casual than their peers, they wore light coloured t shirts and jackets on top.
Vasquez is the only character that was not wearing a helmet and because she is a woman, she is the opposite to a generic female character. She wears a red bandana and has short hair, which links to her being a 'tomboy', this would go against the typical stereotype of a woman.
