- (Science-fiction) (Univers de Blade Runner) Réplicant.
Early in the 21st Century, THE TYRELL CORPORATION advanced Robot evolution into the NEXUS phase — a being virtually identical to a human — known as a Replicant.
— (Hampton Fancher, David Peoples, introduction du film Blade Runner, 1982)
The NEXUS 6 Replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them.
Replicants were used Off-world as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets.
