Changes: Rigel V

Warning!

This page contains information regarding Star Trek: Discovery, and thus may contain spoilers.

Rigel V was the inhabited fifth planet of the Rigel system.

Prior to stardate 3842, an experimental medical trial of a chemical stimulant was successfully completed on Rigelian test subjects on this planet. This stimulant sped up reproduction and replacement of blood in the body. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")

While working together as couriers in 3188, Michael Burnham and Cleveland Booker had an escapade on Rigel V. In 3191, Booker suggested that they take the same approach to Fred's abode on Q'mau, though Burnham favored the approach they took on Vintar IV. (DIS: "Red Directive")

Background information

This planet's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of its star system as seen in the star chart appearing in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

During the Whale Probe crisis of 2286, a Starfleet Command Table Operator reported that they were updating graphics from Rigel V. The line mentioning this location was scripted for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, but was ultimately unused in that film. [1]

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (pp. 52, 59, "United Federation of Planets I"), Rigel V, also known as Beta Rigel V, was an M-class planet. The planet was a member planet of both the United Rigel Colonies (β) and the United Federation of Planets. Rigel IV was admitted, along with the United Rigel Colonies, to the Federation in 2202.

Apocrypha

According to The Worlds of the Federation (p. 36), Rigel V became a Federation member in 2184.

The novel Tower of Babel depicted Rigel V as the home of the Jelna, the Rigelians seen in Star Trek: Enterprise. They were the first species in their system to achieve spaceflight and made contact with their neighbors, the Zami of Rigel IV and the Chelons of Rigel III. Together, all three native species as well as extrasolar immigrants formed the system-spanning United Rigel Worlds and Colonies, which were admitted into the Federation in 2164.
