History
- See also: Great Orion Empire
- About 220,000 BCE: Some Orions from Pi-3 Orionis are transplanted to Rigel VII and flourish in the Enala river valley.[2]
- About 203,000 BCE: Orion astronauts reach Rigel XIII and study the cosmic string located above the south pole.[2]
- About 202,000 BCE: The Orions develop warp drive.[2]
- 200,993 BCE: The Great Orion Empire (aka, First Orion Empire) is formed.[2]
- About 141,863 BCE: The Great Orion Empire is destroyed by Doomsday Machines.[2]
- There is no information as to why this planet wasn't destroyed.
- About 32,720 BCE: The Second Orion Empire is in conflict with the First Federation.[2]
- 5,200 BCE: The Twelfth Orion Empire falls. The Orion caju collectively decide that galactic conquest is best left to lesser species and give up on overt rule.[[2][3][4]
- 553: The Zami and Kaylar settle into their preferred parts of Rigel V, ending the general conflict, with the Zami entering into trade deals with the neighboring Orions.[2]
- 1529: The Vegan Tyranny attacks Rigel VII, causing the destruction of the advanced Orion culture there and resulting in a return to barbarism.[2]
- 1960: The Orions begin a series of raids on the Vegan Tyranny.[2]
Important Locations
- TBD
Notes
- This is the original homeworld of the Kaylar, though they have been spread throughout the Rigellian systems by the Orions and Zami, with many settlements centuries old.
- This is the adopted homeworld for the (long ago) transplanted Orions and the center of their empires & culture.
- Some sources claim this is also known as Kolar, but in SFC-canon, that name belongs to Beta Rigel Xb.
- Rigel VII shares an orbit with its trojan sister planet, Rigel VI.
- The Hakel radiation belt emitted by Beta Rigel A provides a "green zone" environment for all the planets—including those in orbit of Beta Rigel BC—with the exception of Rigel I and the asteroid belt situated in the orbit just beyond it.
