Rikti
Known Leaders:
* C'Kelkah (Traditionalists)
* Ambassador Kuhr'Rekt (Restructurists)
* The Honoree
Trans-dimensional invaders. A major part of the back-story of City of Heroes involves the Rikti War, a full scale invasion by the Rikti a few years back. Several of the zones of the Paragon City were all but destroyed in the war, including the zones now known as Boomtown and the Crash Site. The invasion was driven back by the heroes of earth. A number of Rikti mother ships and transports crashed during the invasion, leaving a large number of Rikti troops stranded on Earth. It is these stranded remnants that the heroes of today must deal with.
Presently, the Rikti are divided into two warring factions: the Traditionalists and the Restructurists. The Traditionalists, the more peaceful of the two factions, want to co-exist with humanity and rebuild their society on earth. The Restructurists however want to build a more militant society under Rikti control.
The original Rikti invasion was a catastrophic event for which the world was completely unprepared for. Heroes played the biggest role in the war and were actually the only force capable of resisting the aliens. Rikti recognized this threat early on and began to target super beings directly. Rikti are strangely ignorant to magic and are completely vulnerable to it which the heroes capitalized on. Fifty magic using heroes, lead by Hero 1, entered the Rikti dimension and destroyed their portal generator cutting off the invasion at the cost of their own lives. The Rikti invasion was defeated, but at a tremendous cost - trillions of dollars of damage was caused, many cities where in ruins and nearly the entire hero population was killed.
Issue 10 saw the return of the Rikti in a new invasion of Earth. The previous "Rikti Crash Site" zone became the "Rikti War Zone" as they attempt to recover their crashed vessel there, while heroes and villains, under the banner of Vanguard, try to stop them. One specific mission in this zone will cause a Rikti invasion senario in a random hero or villain zone where Rikti bomber craft will fly in and carpet bomb the area. Afterwards Rikti will teleport in and ambush any super powered beings in the area. The Rikti are hostile to any native creature and will attack and be attacked by anything from Hellions to Freakshow and Carnival of Shadows.
