Notes
- Homeworld of the Chelarians
- See the saved draft of "Rigel III" from the unpublished film-era sourcebook, Final Frontiers, on this article's discussion page.
- 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.
