Rim (planet)
Talk0this wiki
Rim was a human colony world of the 2170's, overrun by a xenomorph outbreak.
Ten years before the Earth Infestation, a family exploring the crash site of a downed alien spacecraft returned to the Rim colony with a medical emergency. The father, who had discovered a clutch of alien eggs, had been infected by a facehugger. The creature gestating inside him soon hatched, quickly spreading the xenomorph infestation throughout the colony.
Several weeks passed before a squad of Colonial Marines arrived at Rim to investigate, losing half their number to the xenomorph threat in their first encounter. Marine Corporal Wilks and a ten year old girl named Billie were the only survivors. Evidence of the xenomorph infestation was covered up and the deaths attributed to the explosion of the colony's reactor.
Trivia
Edit
- Billie's experiences on Rim mirror that of Newt's on LV-426. Newt's further adventures after Aliens were thrown out of continuity after her death in Alien3. The planet Rim and the characters of Billie and Wilks are retcons of LV-426, Newt, and Hicks, respectively.
