Rim was a human colony world of the 2170's. Like LV-426, Rim also had a Derelict crash site that housed xenomorph eggs.
In 2179, the crash site was discovered by a family of explorers who investigated the downed ship. One of the colonists was infected and taken back to the local colony where the creature gestating inside him 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. One Marine and a ten year old girl survived. The xenomorph infestation was covered up and the colonists' deaths offically attributed to the colony's reactor reaching critical mass and exploding.
