The fact that the Rikti Invasion is over for the time being does not mean that the other-dimensional invaders are cleansed from the city. In fact, quite the opposite is true. No one knows for sure how many Rikti still lurk beneath the streets of [[Paragon City]] and other great battleground cities like Rome and Kuala Lumpur. Some estimates put the number at a few thousand. Others suggest that there are ten or twenty times that many still menacing the planet. While the danger of total worldwide enslavement to an alien race seems to have passed for the time being, the Rikti still present a daily and ever-growing threat.

The affect of the Rikti on human culture and society has not been entirely negative. The world they come from is quite a bit more advanced than our own, technologically speaking. During the war and in subsequent raids on Rikti cells, heroes have recovered literally thousands of tons of Rikti technology. From spaceships to handguns, the Rikti brought a startling array of weapons and other technology with them. Ever since the first alien energy rifle fell into the hands of a human scientist, we have been learning from their scientific discoveries.

The [[war walls]] that divide up Paragon City employ force fields based on Rikti technology. [[Vanguard]] has begun to employ a prototype 'rapid response' portal system designed after Rikti teleporters and many heroes benefit from an emergency teleportation system that sends them directly to a hospital when their life signs reach a critical level. Once they get there, they find themselves rejuvenated by hospital beds that repair damage at a cellular level using a system inspired by the Rikti transmogrification vats.

The benefits reaped from Rikti technology have only begun to appear and are certain to transform our entire world in the years to come. Right now though, they pose a problem as well. Not all of the discarded or lost Rikti technology fell into the hands of the heroes and governments of the world. Every month, more and more of it makes its way into the hands of Paragon City's criminal element. The black market for alien artifacts is booming, with even a simple side arm or communication device selling for tens of thousands of dollars. An early attempt to auction a Rikti helmet on eBay™ got a high bid of $35,320 before the government cracked down, arresting the seller and fining the company. A more serious problem came when a local gang found a stash of Rikti assault weapons, turning them overnight into a group with the firepower to level a city block in a matter of minutes. Fortunately, a group of young heroes captured the gang as they attempted to rob a liquor store, but the potential danger was obvious to everyone (except perhaps the dimwitted thieves).

Many private research and development firms now operate under government contract to help unlock the potential in captured Rikti tech. Among the most significant is [[Crey|Crey Industries]], who made some of the earliest and quickest advances in Rikti research. They hold the patent on the emergency teleportation system that so many heroes use every day in their fight against evil. However, Crey recently lost all of its contracts and was forbidden to work on Rikti research after the Vanguard discovered that the company possessed a number of Rikti weapons and rare suits of advanced combat armor that the rest of the world knew nothing about. The [[Countess Crey]] maintained that it was simply a clerical error, but the Vanguard remained unimpressed and seized all the alien artifacts known to be in Crey's possession. Crey has assured the UN that it no longer has any interest in alien research and is pursuing its own projects from now on.

{{spoiler}}
 +
Higher level contacts reveal that the Rikti are in fact descended from humanity. In their own dimension, an advanced alien species of unknown origin converted the humans of the Rikti dimension into what they are now. The Rikti are born as what we consider ordinary, but around adolescence changes begin, and they begin to morph into full Rikti aliens.
 +
To this end, humans of Prime Earth may also be converted into Rikti, but usually adults must go through years of regimen before becoming a Rikti citizen. The Restructurist Rikti faction ignores this unlike their Traditionalist opposition, and use Rikti converts as soldiers.

===Underlings===
+
On their world the Rikti allowed their gods to die out and have always had an aversion to worshipping supernatural and/or mystical beings. Their lack of faith and interest in such things created a vulnerability over time. More recently, members of the Restructionist faction within the Rikti are reconsidering this position. In fact some of them even have magical powers from their Primal Earth Mu blood. The Rikti have also begun questioning their stance on this with the resurgence of the Midnight Squad. The recent attacks from a purely magical source have cut the Rikti more deeply than they’d like to admit.

Often referred to as ruin monkeys, these horrible creatures were created by the Rikti, then let loose in the city to wreak havoc. They roam in packs and pounce with tremendous speed and ferocity. Unfortunately, the Rikti seem to have a never-ending supply of them.

The Rider known as War specializes in pure destruction, aiding his allies as he annihilates his foes.

According to [[Portal Corp]] intel, the Rikti weren't a particularly hostile people when their world had been discovered. That was a few years prior to the invasion. However, the current government on the Rikti Earth, (the Lineage of War) decided to invade our world. There is evidence that [[Nemesis (Archvillain)|Nemesis]] was some how involved with bringing the LoW to power.

The Rikti exterminated all who believed in any gods, starving the gods of the faith that sustained them. This resulted in the gods’ death (apparently, they would like to do the same on Primal Earth – hence their hostility toward the [[Circle of Thorns]], whom worship [[Ermeeth]]). Perhaps because of this, the Rikti are not familiar with magic.

This resulted in the gods’ death (apparently, they would like to do the same on [[Primal Earth]] – hence their hostility toward the [[Circle of Thorns]], who worship [[Ermeeth]]). Their lack of faith and interest in such things created a vulnerability over time. More recently, members of the Restructionist faction (see further down) within the Rikti are reconsidering this position. In fact some of them even have magical powers from their Primal Earth [[Mu]] blood. The Rikti have also begun questioning their stance on this with the resurgence of the [[Midnight Squad]]. The recent attacks from a purely magical source have cut the Rikti more deeply than they’d like to admit.

Since they became stranded, the Rikti on Earth have been splitting into two political factions: The Traditionalists and the Restructurists. The Traditionalists wish to rebuild Rikti society on Earth, while the Restructurists are thinking of a more militaristic form of society.
+
Recently, the Rikti faction on Earth was able to develop a small, tenuous portal back to their homeworld, which becomes the focus of many missions for [[Vanguard]].
 +
 
 +
Due to the events of the [[Issue 10|second Rikti invasion]], the Rikti are now hostile to all other enemy groups, and will attack them if they spawn close to each other.
 +
 
 +
=== Rikti Factions ===
 +
After the first Rikti War, and during the second Rikti War, two distinct factions of Rikti became apparent: The Traditionalists and the Restructurists. Much of this information '''(including spoilers)''' can be found in [[Serpent Drummer]]'s story arc [[Serpent Drummer#Dreams of Peace and Acts of War|Dreams of Peace and Acts of War]].
 +
 
 +
==== Rikti Traditionalists ====
 +
The Rikti are traditionally pacifists, calling upon the Lineage of War only in dire times. The Rikti Traditionalists seek an end to the war, to return to their once peaceful ways and re-open communication and understanding between Earth and the Rikti Homeworld.
 +
 
 +
==== Rikti Restructurists ====
 +
The Restructurist faction is headed by the Lineage of War, which seeks a higher place of stature within the Rikti society. Using the war with Earth as a tool to this end, they aim to shape Rikti society into a militaristic culture led by the Rikti Lord of War. A diplomatic end to the war would destroy this ambition, however, which make the Traditionalists on Earth a threat to them.

According to the version of the [[Story Bible]] released, and generally confirmed by the [[Lore AMA]], the "True Rikti" were a star-faring race whose planet became uninhabitable (due to either their star going nova or an environmental disaster). They were able to send out many generational ships, one of which landed on Earth in an alternate dimension thousands of years ago. Due to an unforeseen incompatibility with the ecosystem, the True Rikti were rendered sterile, and unable to reproduce. They discovered that with their advanced technology, they could modify humans to become Rikti. However, some of the gods and humans of this dimension's Earth opposed this transformation, and war broke out. Because the gods were sustained by magic and worship, following the defeat of a god, the True Rikti established themselves as the new gods, to prevent the defeated gods from reforming due to the prayers of their followers. This led to a process by which humans are converted into Rikti not just physically, but mentally as well, to prevent them from worshiping, and thereby reforming, the old gods. Eventually, modified humans became Rikti, and because they were ready for it, were told the truth of their origins without danger of worshiping the old gods.

For the most part, this worked, and the legacy of the True Rikti on Earth continued for millennia even after the original True Rikti died out. Their human heirs had plenty of time and knowledge to explore scientific advances, and developed instantaneous telepathic communication and teleportation technology, and achieved a sort of utopia. Unfortunately, records of a time ''before'' the True Rikti began their transformations surfaced, and it was revealed that they had originally intended to live side by side with humans. This caused a schism in Rikti society, leading a small minority of Rikti to be persecuted for their beliefs that the transformation was a bad thing, and was holding "humanity" back from its true potential. This group would have been largely forgotten, had it not been for Nemesis' attack on the Rikti homeworld. Using automatons of Primal Earth's heroes and old Rikti gods, Nemesis led the Rikti to believe that Primal Earth heroes and gods had attacked them. This gave the persecuted "human" Rikti hope, and helped lead to the end of the Rikti War.

Omega Team was prepared to sacrifice themselves to destroy the main Rikti base when they entered the main Rikti portal, but were contacted by this small group of dissenters. A god had been resurrected, and was able to work with Omega Team to create a magical shield to block Rikti Earth from Primal Earth. The spell to create the shield also had the side effect of letting the entire world know what had happened - the gods had returned, and had ''ended'' a brutal war. This bolstered the dissenters ranks, but also led to the main government cracking down on them. It is largely unknown what happened on Rikti Earth following this event, but some members of Omega Team survived to fight the Rikti, while [[Ruin (Omega Team)|Ruin]] took over the equivalent of the Australian continent.

Overview

The Rikti are an alien race that invaded earth during the Rikti War. Their invasion was halted due to the heroics of Vanguard at the cost of untold lives. They remain entrenched on earth and pose a danger to everyone they encounter.

Background

Rikti official info (Copied from the City of Villains official website [1])

The fact that the Rikti Invasion is over for the time being does not mean that the other-dimensional invaders are cleansed from the city. In fact, quite the opposite is true. No one knows for sure how many Rikti still lurk beneath the streets of Paragon City and other great battleground cities like Rome and Kuala Lumpur. Some estimates put the number at a few thousand. Others suggest that there are ten or twenty times that many still menacing the planet. While the danger of total worldwide enslavement to an alien race seems to have passed for the time being, the Rikti still present a daily and ever-growing threat.

The affect of the Rikti on human culture and society has not been entirely negative. The world they come from is quite a bit more advanced than our own, technologically speaking. During the war and in subsequent raids on Rikti cells, heroes have recovered literally thousands of tons of Rikti technology. From spaceships to handguns, the Rikti brought a startling array of weapons and other technology with them. Ever since the first alien energy rifle fell into the hands of a human scientist, we have been learning from their scientific discoveries.

The war walls that divide up Paragon City employ force fields based on Rikti technology. Vanguard has begun to employ a prototype 'rapid response' portal system designed after Rikti teleporters and many heroes benefit from an emergency teleportation system that sends them directly to a hospital when their life signs reach a critical level. Once they get there, they find themselves rejuvenated by hospital beds that repair damage at a cellular level using a system inspired by the Rikti transmogrification vats.

The benefits reaped from Rikti technology have only begun to appear and are certain to transform our entire world in the years to come. Right now though, they pose a problem as well. Not all of the discarded or lost Rikti technology fell into the hands of the heroes and governments of the world. Every month, more and more of it makes its way into the hands of Paragon City's criminal element. The black market for alien artifacts is booming, with even a simple side arm or communication device selling for tens of thousands of dollars. An early attempt to auction a Rikti helmet on eBay™ got a high bid of $35,320 before the government cracked down, arresting the seller and fining the company. A more serious problem came when a local gang found a stash of Rikti assault weapons, turning them overnight into a group with the firepower to level a city block in a matter of minutes. Fortunately, a group of young heroes captured the gang as they attempted to rob a liquor store, but the potential danger was obvious to everyone (except perhaps the dimwitted thieves).

Current international laws clearly state that any artifact of alien technology must be immediately turned over to the local government who will then turn it over to the Vanguard. The Vanguard - in addition to its other duties, has taken on the role of clearinghouse for captured alien technology. They then apportion out the finds to different research facilities around the world. Vanguard security personnel are stationed at each of these labs, both to ensure their safety and to see that the scientists share whatever discoveries they make with the rest of the world community.

Many private research and development firms now operate under government contract to help unlock the potential in captured Rikti tech. Among the most significant is Crey Industries, who made some of the earliest and quickest advances in Rikti research. They hold the patent on the emergency teleportation system that so many heroes use every day in their fight against evil. However, Crey recently lost all of its contracts and was forbidden to work on Rikti research after the Vanguard discovered that the company possessed a number of Rikti weapons and rare suits of advanced combat armor that the rest of the world knew nothing about. The Countess Crey maintained that it was simply a clerical error, but the Vanguard remained unimpressed and seized all the alien artifacts known to be in Crey's possession. Crey has assured the UN that it no longer has any interest in alien research and is pursuing its own projects from now on.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Higher level contacts reveal that the Rikti are in fact descended from humanity. In their own dimension, an advanced alien species of unknown origin converted the humans of the Rikti dimension into what they are now. The Rikti are born as what we consider ordinary, but around adolescence changes begin, and they begin to morph into full Rikti aliens. To this end, humans of Prime Earth may also be converted into Rikti, but usually adults must go through years of regimen before becoming a Rikti citizen. The Restructurist Rikti faction ignores this unlike their Traditionalist opposition, and use Rikti converts as soldiers.

On their world the Rikti allowed their gods to die out and have always had an aversion to worshipping supernatural and/or mystical beings. Their lack of faith and interest in such things created a vulnerability over time. More recently, members of the Restructionist faction within the Rikti are reconsidering this position. In fact some of them even have magical powers from their Primal Earth Mu blood. The Rikti have also begun questioning their stance on this with the resurgence of the Midnight Squad. The recent attacks from a purely magical source have cut the Rikti more deeply than they’d like to admit.

Main Article: The Honoree

The Honoree reminds you of Hero 1, the hero who was sent to the Rikti homeworld and successfully destroyed the bridge between their world and ours. It is quite possible that Hero 1 was captured on the Rikti homeworld and subjected to mutations similar to what the Lost undergo, creating this new abomination.

Notes

Spoilers

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Origins

The Rikti are, in fact, genetically-modified humans. What drove the people of Rikti Earth to modify themselves is unknown, but the power of their technology is undeniable. During the short time of the Rikti War, they nearly exterminated all of Earth's superheroes.

According to Portal Corp intel, the Rikti weren't a particularly hostile people when their world was initially discovered a few years prior to the invasion. However, the current government on the Rikti Earth, (the Lineage of War) decided to invade our world. There is evidence that Nemesis was some how involved with bringing the LoW to power.

History

The Rikti exterminated all who believed in any gods, starving the gods of the faith that sustained them. This resulted in the gods’ death (apparently, they would like to do the same on Primal Earth – hence their hostility toward the Circle of Thorns, who worship Ermeeth). Their lack of faith and interest in such things created a vulnerability over time. More recently, members of the Restructionist faction (see further down) within the Rikti are reconsidering this position. In fact some of them even have magical powers from their Primal Earth Mu blood. The Rikti have also begun questioning their stance on this with the resurgence of the Midnight Squad. The recent attacks from a purely magical source have cut the Rikti more deeply than they’d like to admit.

Present Day

The War ended when the Omega Team (composed mostly of mages) went through the Rikti portal to their home world and created a magical barrier that prevents inter-dimensional travel between our two worlds.

Recently, the Rikti faction on Earth was able to develop a small, tenuous portal back to their homeworld, which becomes the focus of many missions for Vanguard.

Due to the events of the second Rikti invasion, the Rikti are now hostile to all other enemy groups, and will attack them if they spawn close to each other.

Rikti Factions

After the first Rikti War, and during the second Rikti War, two distinct factions of Rikti became apparent: The Traditionalists and the Restructurists. Much of this information (including spoilers) can be found in Serpent Drummer's story arc Dreams of Peace and Acts of War.

Rikti Traditionalists

The Rikti are traditionally pacifists, calling upon the Lineage of War only in dire times. The Rikti Traditionalists seek an end to the war, to return to their once peaceful ways and re-open communication and understanding between Earth and the Rikti Homeworld.

Rikti Restructurists

The Restructurist faction is headed by the Lineage of War, which seeks a higher place of stature within the Rikti society. Using the war with Earth as a tool to this end, they aim to shape Rikti society into a militaristic culture led by the Rikti Lord of War. A diplomatic end to the war would destroy this ambition, however, which make the Traditionalists on Earth a threat to them.

Apocrypha

According to the version of the Story Bible released, and generally confirmed by the Lore AMA, the "True Rikti" were a star-faring race whose planet became uninhabitable (due to either their star going nova or an environmental disaster). They were able to send out many generational ships, one of which landed on Earth in an alternate dimension thousands of years ago. Due to an unforeseen incompatibility with the ecosystem, the True Rikti were rendered sterile, and unable to reproduce. They discovered that with their advanced technology, they could modify humans to become Rikti. However, some of the gods and humans of this dimension's Earth opposed this transformation, and war broke out. Because the gods were sustained by magic and worship, following the defeat of a god, the True Rikti established themselves as the new gods, to prevent the defeated gods from reforming due to the prayers of their followers. This led to a process by which humans are converted into Rikti not just physically, but mentally as well, to prevent them from worshiping, and thereby reforming, the old gods. Eventually, modified humans became Rikti, and because they were ready for it, were told the truth of their origins without danger of worshiping the old gods.

For the most part, this worked, and the legacy of the True Rikti on Earth continued for millennia even after the original True Rikti died out. Their human heirs had plenty of time and knowledge to explore scientific advances, and developed instantaneous telepathic communication and teleportation technology, and achieved a sort of utopia. Unfortunately, records of a time before the True Rikti began their transformations surfaced, and it was revealed that they had originally intended to live side by side with humans. This caused a schism in Rikti society, leading a small minority of Rikti to be persecuted for their beliefs that the transformation was a bad thing, and was holding "humanity" back from its true potential. This group would have been largely forgotten, had it not been for Nemesis' attack on the Rikti homeworld. Using automatons of Primal Earth's heroes and old Rikti gods, Nemesis led the Rikti to believe that Primal Earth heroes and gods had attacked them. This gave the persecuted "human" Rikti hope, and helped lead to the end of the Rikti War.

Omega Team was prepared to sacrifice themselves to destroy the main Rikti base when they entered the main Rikti portal, but were contacted by this small group of dissenters. A god had been resurrected, and was able to work with Omega Team to create a magical shield to block Rikti Earth from Primal Earth. The spell to create the shield also had the side effect of letting the entire world know what had happened - the gods had returned, and had ended a brutal war. This bolstered the dissenters ranks, but also led to the main government cracking down on them. It is largely unknown what happened on Rikti Earth following this event, but some members of Omega Team survived to fight the Rikti, while Ruin took over the equivalent of the Australian continent.
