  • While LUG & Decipher indicate Rigel XIII is a Class J gas giant, it is further described as being a "superjovian world that was almost a brown dwarf". I'm interpreting that to mean it is a Class S hypergiant.
  • The Rigel XIII cosmic string is twisted into a Moebius configuration, rotating and spinning in place above the south pole, at a distance of 100 million miles. Major sunspot activity on Beta Rigel B causes the anomaly to "flare up", opening a temporal anomaly at its center, a likely rift between two points in space-time. Fortunately, it is far enough away from the heavily used space-routes around the Beta Rigel system to not be a safety concern. Federation theories maintain the anomaly is artificial, created by some ancient and unknown civilization, labeled as the Architects.[3]
  • 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.
