History
- About 220,000 BCE: Some Orions from Pi-3 Orionis are transplanted to Rigel VII.[1]
- About 203,000 BCE: Orion astronauts reach Rigel XII and study the superstring located above the south pole.[1]
- About 202,000 BCE: The Orions develop warp drive.[1]
- 200,993 BCE: The Great Orion Empire (aka, First Orion Empire) is formed.[1]
- About 141,430 BCE: The Great Orion Empire is destroyed by Doomsday Machines.[1]
- About 32,720 BCE: The Second Orion Empire is in conflict with the First Federation.[1]
- About 20,720 BCE: The Curved Rodinium Culture dominates the Orion region.[1]
- About 8,000 BCE: The Twelfth Orion Empire expands into the Alpha quadrant.[1]
- 5,200 BCE: The Twelfth Orion Empire falls.[1]
- 453: A Debrune splinter fleet (refugees from the Vulcan wars) invade and settle on Rigel V, entering into conflict with the native and primitive Kaylar.[1]
- 553: The Debrune and Kaylar settle into their preferred parts of Rigel V, ending the conflict, with the Debrune entering into trade deals with the neighboring Orions.[1]
- 1529: The Vegan Tyranny attacks Rigel VII, causing the destruction of the advanced Orion culture there, resulting in a return to barbarism.[1]
- 1934: The Orions have first contact with the Andorians on the latter's colony Cimera III.[1]

Notes
- It is understood the numbering sequence should start from "I" for the planet systems around both Beta Rigel A and Beta Rigel BC. However, most common names for both systems has Beta Rigel BC's planets start at "XIII".
- Per the various sources, SFC canon has that the Orions originated in the Pi-3 Orionis system, while some Orions were re-settled (around 220,000 BCE) on Rigel VII (in this system).
- Per Last Unicorn Games, Decipher, and Star Charts, the United Rigel Worlds and Colonies was comprised of Beta Rigel II, Beta Rigel IV, Beta Rigel V, Beta Rigel VI and Beta Rigel X and had joined with the UFP in either 2164 or 2202. Other sources had conflicting data. SFC-canon holds that the three homeworlds in the Beta Rigel system had colonial control over one or more planets (each) in the system. That works out to be:
- Beta Rigel III (Chelarians): Beta Rigel II; joins UFP in 2275
- Beta Rigel V (Rigelians, Kaylars): Beta Rigel IV; joins UFP in 2184; expelled in 2293; re-admitted in 2297
- Beta Rigel VII: all other inhabitable planets; remains independent
