History

  • In (approximately) 27,700 BCE: The Fourth Orion Empire hastily abandons a terraforming project on Rigel VIII (Tavar).[1]
The planet has domed cities and huge statues that have fallen into ruins after these Orions (inexplicably) gained god-like powers and destroyed themselves. Spacers' tales tell of the world's ghost cities, its mile-high statues, and of angry "shells" of life-force that kill anyone who step foot on the surface. Certainly, visitors to the planet have a greater tendency to disappear. (Worlds, p. 141)

Important Locations

  • TBD

Notes

  • Rigel VIII is in the seventh established orbit (as Rigel VI and VII are trojans in the sixth orbit).
  • Rigel VIII is presented rather differently between the various sources; SFC aligns with the Star Charts interpretation.
