Rigel I

Rigel I, also called Tugn or Deyirdar, is the first planet in the Rigel star system in the Orion Neutrality Area in the Beta Quadrant. It is an airless class J or class F world, but it was the site of an automated Orion facility that collected molten metals from the surface.

Being so close to its sun, Rigel I is a blazing hot world, with a nearly molten crust that frequently erupts magma, releasing trace gases and volatile compounds. Sometimes these cool into valuable crystals, and prospectors risked death to harvest them. 

The Hakiel Radiation Zone, which shields the rest of the Rigel system from the star's potentially lethal ionizing radiation, causes severe magnetic disturbances in front of it, near Rigel I. These occasionally knocked out the mining facility's computer controls, and volunteer engineers in protective armour would arrive in heavily shield ships to make repairs in the deadly environment.

It has a total surface area of 21,237,160 square kilometers, 100% of which is land. Its makeup is 41% normal metals, 7% radioactive elements, 5% gemstones, 3% industrial crystals and 1% special minerals. It is a class J planet, with no atmosphere or water. Its 'day' is 64 standard days.

It had a technological/socio-political index of 999974-74 and a planetary trade profile of GABGDFHC/(X). 


 * The calls this planet Tugn and classes it J (which would correspond to a class J moon) while  names the world Deyirdar and labels it Class F.
