Beta Orionis System

Beta Orionis was the “true” Rigel, a bright blue binary system located 773 light years from the Sol System. The system had at least seven planets, including Rigel VII, and was located in the Beta Quadrant.[2] Rigel VII was first visited by Humans in 2254.[1, 2]

Beta Rigel System

Star system with at least ten planets located in the Deneva Sector of the Beta Quadrant, named for its apparent proximity to the “true” Rigel, Beta Orionis, as viewed from Earth.[2] The system was first visited by Humans in 2151.[1] Planets include Rigel VI and Rigel X.[2]

Star, Type-O

Type-O Star (STSC)
Type-O Star (STSC)

Dark blue star. Temperatures ranged from 28,000 to 50,000°K. O-Type stars were composed of ionized atoms, especially helium.

Each spectral class (O, B, A, F, G, K, M) was divided into 10 subclasses, ranging from 0 (hottest) to 9 (coolest). Stars were also divided into six categories according to luminosity: Ia (most luminous supergiants), Ib (less luminous supergiants), II (luminous giants), III (normal giants), IV (subgiants), and V (main sequence and dwarfs). For instance, Sol was classified as G2V, which meant that it was a relatively hot G-Type main sequence star. In addtion, classes R, N, S, T, Q, and W were used for relatively rare star types not found on the main sequence.[1]

Planet, Class-Y

Tholia (STSC)
Tholia (STSC)

Demon. Age ranged from 2-10 billion years. Diameter was 10,000 to 50,000 km. Typically located in the Hot Zone, Ecosphere, or Cold Zone of a planetary system. Surface temperatures could exceed 500°K. Atmosphere was turbulent, and saturated with toxic chemicals and thermionic radiation. May have contained mimetic or crystalline-based life forms. Classes X, Y, and Z were reserved for planets with environments particularly hostile to humanoid life.[1]
