Rigel XI, was the eleventh planet in the Rigel star system.

Two different versions of Rigel XI have been presented.

FASA VersionEdit

Rigel XI, also called Pliu, was the eleventh planet in the Rigel star system. It was a ringed Class B gas giant with 12 moons.

Like Rigel IX and Rigel X, Pliu was an impressive giant, with rings and many moons around it. Many of these moons were home to automated mining facilities, while the largest supported small, drab, and boring mining towns. These were corporation-owned, with access restricted.

Pliu had an gravity of 2.5 g and a 15-hour day. It had a total surface area of 8,701,844,200 square kilometers. About 31% of its makeup was normal metals, with trace amounts of radioactive elements, industrial crystals, gemstones and special minerals. (FASA RPG module: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge)

Decipher VersionEdit

Rigel XI, also called Sanidar, was the eleventh planet in the Rigel star system, in the Beta Quadrant.

It was a frozen, rocky Class G planet, surrounded by an orbital ring of junk.

Sanidar had been used for weapons testing by various Orion Empires over several thousand years. Later, scavengers made a dangerous living recovering unexploded ordnance, valuable metals and derelict space-craft, either from the surface or the orbiting space scrap. (Decipher RPG module: Worlds)
