This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in a separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

Flight Corporal Rigel is a Colonial Core Command operative on battlestar Galactica. Rigel is noted for being a professional woman who approaches her responsibilities with enthusiasm.

Sometime in 7348, she enters the officer candidate program during the Fleet's transit through the Empyrean Expanse (^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #0)}―^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #3)}).

She is present during the events leading up to and following entry into a black hole, as well as the battle between the Meclons and the combined Cylon and Colonial Fleet (^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica: Folly of the Gods)}).

Notes

While never referred to directly by name in ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica: Folly of the Gods)}, her distinctive hair style and approach are referenced throughout the comic.
Rigel's entrance into the officer candidate program is borne of an error by the colorist from ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #0)}, who gave her a blue uniform like other officers. John Jackson Miller, the writer of the series, turns this error into a story point in ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #3)}.^[1]

-Flight Corporal '''Rigel''' is a Colonial [[Core Command]] operative on [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]''.  Rigel is noted for being a professional woman who approaches her responsibilities with enthusiasm.
-Among her duties in [[Core Command]], Rigel's primary responsibility is in the coordination of [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] defense and launch approval procedures (similar to a [[LSO|landing signal officer]]).  She is also responsible for processing data ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' receives from [[Viper (TOS)|Vipers]] out on patrol.  In one instance, she supplies information to [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] and [[Tigh (TOS)|Tigh]] concerning the [[Ravashol pulsar]] on [[Arcta]] ([[Gun on Ice Planet Zero]]).

-Among her notable moments in Core Command, Rigel becomes quite joyous over the female pilots' successful defense of [[Salik]]'s [[Colonial Shuttle (TOS)|medical shuttle]] ([[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I]]).
+Sometime in [[7348 (alternate)|7348]], she enters the officer candidate program during the Fleet's transit through the [[Empyrean Expanse]] ({{comics|classic|0}}―{{comics|classic|3|short=y}}).
+She is present during the events leading up to and following entry into a [[black hole]], as well as the battle between the [[Meclons]] and the combined {{alt|Cylons|TOS|Cylon}} and Colonial Fleet ({{comics|folly}}).
 == Notes ==
-* Rigel was credited only as "Woman on Duty" for "[[Saga of a Star World]]" and "[[Lost Planet of the Gods]]". This was changed in her subsequent appearances.
+* While never referred to directly by name in {{comics|folly}}, her distinctive hair style and approach are referenced throughout the comic.
-* In "[[The Long Patrol]]", a computer readout lists Rigel as a sergeant and is thus inaccurate, as end credits for episodes list her as "Flight Coporal".
+*Rigel's entrance into the officer candidate program is borne of an error by the colorist from {{Comics|classic|0}}, who gave her a blue uniform like other officers. [[John Jackson Miller]], the writer of the series, turns this error into a story point in {{Comics|classic|3}}.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://farawaypress.com/comics/battlestargalacticacounterstrike/battlestargalacticacounterstrike3/|title=Battlestar Galactica: Counterstrike #3 - Faraway Press|author=John Jackson Miller|accessdate=01 January 2023}}</ref>
-* In the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]], Rigel's contemporary is Petty Officer [[Anastasia Dualla]], but shares tactical data to command staff in a way similar to Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta]].
-* The name "Rigel" is taken from [[Wikipedia:Rigel|Beta Orionis]], in the [[Wikipedia:Orion (constellation)|constellation Orion]]. It is a B8 Supergiant star, some 400 times brighter than the Earth's sun. It is believed to be a [[Wikipedia:triple star system|triple star system]], 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.
