Editing Rigel

Flight Corporal Rigel was a young twenty-something, professional woman who approached her responsibilities with enthusiasm; she was mainly responsible for coordinating [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] defense and launch, as well as processing data scans from the Vipers. She was quite joyous over the female pilots' successful defense of [[Salik]]'s [[shuttle#medical|medical shuttle]] ([[Lost Planet of the Gods]]), and also supplied information to [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] and [[Tigh (TOS)|Tigh]] concerning the [[Ravishol Pulsar]] ([[Gun on Ice Planet Zero]])

Rigel appeared throughout the entire first and only season on [[Core Command]].

== Notes ==

* Rigel was credited as "Woman on Duty" for [[Saga of a Star World]] and [[Lost Planet of the Gods]]. This was changed in her subsequent appearance.
* In [[The Long Patrol]], a computer readout lists Rigel as a sergeant; thusly inaccurate.
* In the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-imagining]], Rigel's contemporary is Petty Officer [[Anastasia Dualla]].
* The name "Rigel" is taken from Beta Orionis, in the constellation Orion. It is a B8 Supergiant star, some 400 times brighter than the sun. It is believed to be a triple star system (see [[Cyrannus]]), but it is unlikely any of the stars within the system support life-bearing planets.
* The name is a contraction of the Arabic "Rijl Jauza al-Yusra", meaning "left foot of the Central One", indicative of Rigel's position in the "left foot" of Orion.
