Not much is known about this lifeform, aside from rumor and speculation. Replicators appear to be made up of millions of nanites, and capable of shape shifting into any shape. This lifeform was coined "Replicator" after a similar fictional lifeform on the popular 21st century science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, by Starfleet Commander Dranzian Chavin. The only known Replicator was created in a holodeck malfunction on board the USS Beliskner while in drydock in late 2380. At last sight it had mimicked the shape of Commander Chavin.
