The Battle of Rigel was an engagement between Federation Alliance and Dominion forces in the Rigel system, which took place in early 2375. The Federation Alliance successfully repelled a Dominion attack on long-standing Federation member system, the United Rigel Colonies.[citation needed]
History and specifics[]
One of the participants in the battle was the USS Enterprise-E, who lost several crewmembers in the battle, including Andrew Powell. (TTN novel: Taking Wing)
The USS Kelly was among the vessels lost in this engagement. In the aftermath of the battle, the Orion Syndicate sent ships into the debris field to scavenge whatever they could before Starfleet could recover its own technology. One such item was an isolation suit from the USS Kelly, which eventually found its way through the black market to Hiziki Gard. (DS9 - Worlds of DS9 - Volume Two novel: Trill: Unjoined)
The Enterprise received repairs at Starbase 133. (TNG novel: The Battle of Betazed)
The Battle of Rigel took place almost simultaneously with the Massacre of New Beijing. (DS9 - S31 novel: Abyss)
