Background information

During the Whale Probe crisis of 2286, a Starfleet Command Table Operator reported that Rigel monitoring graphics general data synth with graphic reps on main screen 3. The line mentioning this location was cut from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. [1]

In the real world, the star Rigel was a star located 773 light years from the Earth in the constellation Orion While this constellation was seen on screen in TNG: "Family" and on a constellation star chart in the TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver". The Rigel in Star Trek was apparently not a star named by Humans, since Vulcans and Klingons used this name in their native languages and the location of Rigel was not known to Humans before it was learned from the Vulcan star charts in "Broken Bow".

According to The Worlds of the Federation (pg. 36), the Rigel system and the Orion system were one and the same. According to the reference book Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 36), there were in fact two stars called Rigel. These were Beta Rigel and Beta Orionis. The Rigel system was in Beta Rigel. According to Star Trek Maps (Chart D), the Rigel system was in Beta Orionis.

-"The Explored Galaxy" was a map of charted space in the Alpha Quadrant. Rigel was located between the [[Tholian Assembly]] and [[Romulus]]. Both locations were identified in {{DS9|The Search, Part II|Call to Arms}} as being located in the Alpha Quadrant. This chart was also seen in several ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episodes set in the [[24th century]], from the year [[2364]] to [[2370]]. These were: {{TNG|Conspiracy|The Measure Of A Man|The Emissary|The Mind's Eye|The Game}} and {{DS9|In the Hands of the Prophets|Cardassians}}.
