Rigel X was the first planet visited by Enterprise. (ENT: "Broken Bow"). In 2151, the Earth starship Enterprise NX-01 visited Rigel X in its search for Klaang, a Klingon who had been kidnapped from the ship by the Suliban Cabal shortly before. Klaang had previously visited Rigel X to make contact with Suliban dissident Sarin. (ENT: "Broken Bow")

In 2161, Enterprise returned to Rigel X to help Shran rescue his daughter, Talla. (ENT: "These Are the Voyages...")


Rigel X inhabitants

Background

Rigel X is identified as the "Rigel colony" on a viewscreen in "These Are the Voyages...".


Since Enterprise managed to get from Earth to Rigel X in a few days, it seems impossible that this planet is orbiting the actual star Rigel, which is about 770 light years away from Sol. In order to cope with this dilemma, the "Beta Rigel system" between the Sol system and Qo'noS was created by Star Trek: Star Charts author Geoffrey Mandel.


Rigel X was the first and last planet visited by Enterprise during the show's run. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "These Are the Voyages...")
