Rigel Polytechnic Institute

The Rigel Polytechnic Institute was a 24th century Federation institute of higher learning located on a planet in the Rigel system, in the galaxy's Beta Quadrant. Their sports teams were known as the Dominars.

History and specifics[]

In the 24th century, Kendra Dolby, Crawford Pressman, and Fabian Stevens were classmates while completing an engineering program at Rigel Polytechnic Institute. Dolby and Stevens often used to tease Pressman, calling him "crawfish", and at one point Dolby pulled a prank on him involving a fire hose. The three recalled their experiences together years later in 2376. (SCE eBook: Creative Couplings)

The Rigel Dominars was probably a nod to Dominar Rygel XVI, a leading character in the science fiction series Farscape.
