To think, they called me insane, Lawrence! We'll see whose insane, when my pets exterminate all life on this miserable, planet!

Nefarious, to Lawrence, about his plan of the Amoeboids destroying Rilgar, UYA

That should clear things right up, sir.

Lawrence, to Nefarious, UYA

Rilgar was a chilly planet far from any sun, devoid of snow. It was famous for its black-colored "water", from which Blackwater City took its name. Rilgar was home to Skid McMarx, and was where a Hoverboard race took place in the original Ratchet & Clank (2002 game) game.

Rilgar was a popular spot for hoverboard races, and was also home to an active night life. However, it also suffered from an Amoeboid infestation, thanks to the tyrannical Nefarious.

Despite losing control of most of their homeworld, Tyhrranosis, Rilgar was attacked by the Tyhrranoids during the events of Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal when Nefarious ordered an attack on Blackwater City. The Galactic Rangers and Ratchet were successful in repelling the assault and liberating the besieged city.

Blackwater Docks map layout

Blackwater Docks is a small asymmetrical map[1] designed for deathmatch games. There's no clear map center because of its shape, and the combat area concentrates at the few platforms on the map.[1][2]

The map is surrounded by a dark deadly liquid, and it is necessary to use the Hypershot to navigate through certain areas.[2] The map also contains several jump pads for movement around the map.[1] The map does not support any vehicles.[1]
