This world was noted as being physically beautiful and home to a number of rural craft guilds such as the Heart Clan as well as had a precious metal economy. One of the most prominent cities on Rigel V is Ancient Grace. (TOS novel: Mind Meld)
At some point in the past, inhabitants from the neighboring world of Rigel IV came to this world for political reasons and their physicians were noted as being one of the best who were responsible for creating a vaccine for the deadly Rigelian fever. After Rigel IV joined the United Federation of Planets, it was known that some of the succeeding generations of the old pirate families began sending their offspring to universities on Rigel V. (TOS novel: Catalyst of Sorrows)
