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]]).
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}}).
 
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]]).

* 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".
* 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.
