Overview

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 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 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, whom worship Ermeeth). Perhaps because of this, the Rikti are not familiar with magic.

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 beteen our two worlds.

Sence they became stranded, the Rikti on Earth have been splitting into two political factions: The Traditionalists and the Retructurists. The Traditionalists whish to rebuild Rikti society on Earth, while the Retructurists are thinking of a more militaristic form of society.
