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.  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.  After a bloody mutiny by a NEXUS 6 combat team in an Off-world colony, Replicants were declared illegal on earth -- under penalty of death. Special police squads -- BLADE RUNNER UNITS -- had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing Replicants. A number of replicants have made it to Earth, and ex-Blade Runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is coerced into tracking them down.
 
BLADE RUNNER -- The nickname given to those police 
detectives who are specially trained in the 
use of the Voight-Kampff machine and whose specific 
function is to track down and eliminate any replicants 
that manage to escape into human society and 
attempt to pass as real human beings.  The official 
name of the Blade Runner division is Rep-Detect.
 
REPLICANT -- A genetically engineered creature 
composed entirely of organic substance.  
Animal replicants (animoids) were developed 
first for use as pets and beasts of burden after 
most real animals became extinct.  Later, 
humanoid replicants were created for 
military purposes and for the exploration 
and colonization of space.  The Tyrell Corp. 
recently introduced the Nexus 6, the supreme 
replicant -- much stronger and faster than, and 
virtually indistinguishable from, real human 
beings.  Earth law forbids replicants on the 
planet, except in the huge industrial complex 
where they are created.  The law does not 
consider replicants human and therefore 
accords them no rights nor protection.
