Astronomical Data

Satellites

Natural

  • Rendar (Rigel IVa)

Artificial

History

This probably occurred before the settlement/invasion of Rigel III.
  • 2120s: Rigellian fever breaks out in Sathura and kills over 100,000 people.[1]
The source says it happened in the 2180s. This also does well syncing up with the "no earlier than 2156" target raised in TOS episode "Wolf In the Fold".
Task: Polar City? Or maybe a region encompassing more? We do know the colony mecomes full members in 2287.
  • 2293: Following an investigation by Star Fleet that uncovers prostitution, illegal animal trading, and child slavery as endemic to the culture and government of Rigel IV and V, both planets are immediately suspended from the Federation.[5]
  • 2297: After very public internal investigations and prosecutions of the identified slavers, Rigel IV and V are re-admitted into the Federation.[3]
The expulsion and re-admission is SFC-canon; the date of admission is from the source.

Important Locations

  • unnamed pergium refinery[6]

Notes

  • Pirates (presumably Orion-led) operated from this planet, until it joined the Federation.
  • Rigel IV has deposits of boridium and murinite.[6]
  • 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.
