Rigel BC-I/Avali

 

 

Rigel BC I & II are variable  worlds and served as the jumping off point for the old Orion Navy and Later the Original Pirate Cartels. Naturally inhospitable worlds, the Orions soon terraformed Avali into a class K planet and the various class M moons of Ugoan to suit their needs, setting up large bases and Shipyards to build their ships. Later, At the beginnings of the Reverse, the worlds fell under exclusive control of one cartel or another, selling loyalties as Companies would stocks. Today they are major research and development worlds and house an Experimental Shipyard which has produced notable ships such as the Endeavor class, the Freedom class, the Merced class and the modern day Norway class. Subsequently a keen observer of both Starship engineering and Orion culture can not help but notice the Orion design likeness in the Starfleet vessels.

 

Avali is very much tolerable thanks to natural phenomenon, thousands if not eons of planet engineering, and a thick atmosphere. Constant sandstorms ravage the planets surface, and Avali is known for the most intense sandstorms in the Rigel system. Despite the conditions, the planet is a thriving star port world that has been operated by dozens of species for millennia.
