Rivet's dimension

Unofficial title

No official name has been given to this subject in any licensed Ratchet & Clank media; as such, a descriptive name was chosen.

Rivet's dimension is the main setting of Rift Apart. An alternate counterpart to Ratchet's dimension from which Rivet hails, the dimension is notably different in that it is ruled by the tyrannical Emperor Nefarious, a counterpart of Dr. Nefarious. In his dimension, Emperor Nefarious has always prevailed, while Rivet never teamed up with Kit, a counterpart of Clank.

By the time of Rift Apart, the dimension was almost entirely under the control of the Nefarious Empire, with only the Resistance and the space pirates struggling against it. Towards the end of the game's events, the Resistance and space pirate leaders were also neutralized and imprisoned at Zordoom Prison, before later being freed by Rivet. In Emperor Nefarious' attempt to invade and subjugate Ratchet's dimension to expand his reach, he was defeated by the combined rebel forces, and Rivet's dimension was finally liberated.

Rivet's dimension comprises a number of counterparts to Ratchet's dimension, such as Phantom, a counterpart of Skidd McMarx who is a fighter in the Resistance. Most of the planets visited in Rivet's dimension in Rift Apart are counterparts of planets from the Polaris Galaxy in Ratchet's dimension. However, the galaxy of other planets visited is unconfirmed, and locations from outside Polaris are mentioned.
