No Gnomes?

Palladium Fantasy Second Edition p294. No particular notes on their place in Rifts, but since they're not likely to become MD beings I think you can use the write-up as is.

All gnomes on rifts earth are in the employment of the coalition states and helped build every CS city as well as the CS war machine.

I think actualy all gnomes that come through the portal sadly see titan juicers and think they need to show up all thoose tall races, even with repeted warnings the little guys can help attempt to undergo the treatment, sadly they live long enough to punch a troll or two in the face before they basicly pop.

Gnomes cannot survive on Rifts Earth because they're allergic to the atmosphere.

...

At least that is what they WANT everyone to believe. . .

I believe they're in the equipment list as rations for some monster RCCs..

Nothing official in the books, but between us here, my company's made a tidy profit selling scaled-down high tech gear, well, 'under the table' to a certain segment of the d-bee population.

Yeah, well, gnomes tend to fall through the cracks all too often....that's why a lot of them wear oversized shoes.

That's why they haven't exterminated lasae demons yet - they keep gnome plagues to a minimum.

Gnomes DO become M.D.C. on Rifts Earth, unfortunately the process renders them immobile and they just wind up in gardens.

No troglodytes either...

No; the two species get into HELLACIOUS fistfights(and wrench fights) if they meet. PLus they'll correct you in a second if you confuse them. Makes hiring the two peoples to work on the same project a real exercise in management and peacekeeping(otherwise they just use the resources allocated to the project to build meaner and more clever ways to maim the other guys...imagine 'Robot Wars' without the safety barriers).

Well as long as it is not using a gnomish mind control cap to get a rat to light a match next to my goblin explosives it is all goo.
