 //"We have no idea where we are from. We come from far beyond, hundreds of light-years away from here. I hatched on a great machine world, but there was not enough food there. Then I was transported to a plentiful planet, but we ate everything there and soon it was crowded. Someone told me that there was a sector full of habitable planets, and many were unclaimed, so I ended up on this ship. And we have been many places since then. The last place we visited was a military space station..."// -- Ruxxles //"We have no idea where we are from. We come from far beyond, hundreds of light-years away from here.

-In [[timeline:ye_38]], Ruxxles had the YSS Eucharis stolen and then sent a large group of Rixxikor hitmen after [[character:Hanako]] and her crew while they were stranded on [[planet:UX-1 I]]. During the attack, the Rixxokor destroyed the planet's [[stararmy:lighthouse]]. The crew escaped by taking the hit squad's shuttles and tracked their ship to a [[species:Graxlat]] scrapyard where Rixxikor colony ships were being constructed. The Eucharis crew devastated the shipyard and recovered the gunship. +In [[timeline:ye_38]], Ruxxles had the YSS Eucharis stolen and then sent a large group of Rixxikor hitmen after [[character:Hanako]] and her crew while they were stranded on [[planet:UX-1 I]].

 ===== In Popular Culture ===== ===== In Popular Culture =====
 A popular meme among humanoids is that Rixxikor were once a band of humans, but they were such a pest to the ancient, godlike technocrats that they were cursed to roam the galaxy forever as insects. This idea is based on the Rixxikor's trolling behavior, use of [[language:trade|trade language]] and on anti-insectoid racism. There is no evidence this idea is actually true, but that doesn't stop people from spreading it. A popular meme among humanoids is that Rixxikor were once a band of humans, but they were such a pest to the ancient, godlike technocrats that they were cursed to roam the galaxy forever as insects.

 They're entirely decentralized. They're like internet mobs. They have no leaders, no spokeperson, no home, and no known origin. They're biologically gifted so each, as an individual, are not forced to rely on anyone else and each can raise their own empire, which competes with others for resources. Destroying part of the mob only enrages the survivors. Rixxikor hordes can regenerate and reappear in large numbers not long after even the most destructive wars because, as long as one survives, the species will eventually proliferate again. They're entirely decentralized.

-==== Yamatai ====+==== Exploited by Kuvexians ==== 
 +Rixxikor have been used by the [[faction:kuvexia:interstellar_kingdom_of_kuvexia|]] as a sort of economic weapon by moving them into enemy space, forcing their enemies to figure out how to deal with a growing Rixxikor population. 
 + 
 +The Kuvexians do not allow Rixxikor to serve in the [[faction:kuvexia:military]]. 
 + 
 +==== A Problem for Yamatai ====
 The Rixxikor are sort of a natural nemesis to the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] because Yamatai is a society big on rights, providing for people, and, to an extent, the value of life. Whereas the Rixxikor have no regard for life, will just multiply until the resources run out, and will just take advantage of any legal rights Yamatai gives them. The Rixxikor are sort of a natural nemesis to the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] because Yamatai is a society big on rights, providing for people, and, to an extent, the value of life.
