Background information

According to StarTrek.com, Rigel IV was a M-class world. [1]

In "Two Days and Two Nights", the NX-class Enterprise, set a milestone several months after its mission to Rigel X, by becoming the first Earth ship to travel 90 light years away from the Sol system.

A question, which was not seen on screen, from Spock's memory test in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home established that Rigel IV at one point signed a peace treaty with Argus. The treaty was important because it set a legal precedent that, All beings may not be created equal yet shall be given equal opportunity and treatment under the law. [2]

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (pgs. 52, 59, "United Federation of Planets I"), Rigel IV, also known as Beta Rigel IV was a M-class planet. The planet was a member planet of both the United Rigel Colonies and the United Federation of Planets. Rigel IV was admitted, along with the United Rigel Colonies, to the Federation in 2202.
