Further notes[]

  • While still played by Sarah Rush, Rigel's appearance was changed between Saga of a Star World and the rest of the series, with her hair being made more unique to stand out. Due to re-use of footage, however, she appears in both hairstyles while prepping the Viper patrol launches in Lost Planet of the Gods.
  • According to Ron Moore, producer of the 2004 Battlestar Galactica series, the character of Petty Officer Anastasia Dualla was built out of Rigel, though with the name changed.[2]
