[edit] Government

The Rigellian government is a Technocracy and their leaders are generally elected due to their high intelligence. Their leader is known as the Grand Commissioner.

[edit] The Recorders

The Rigellians are skilled in robotics and have created a race of robotic lifeforms called the Recorders. The Recorders are generally used as scouts to explore new territory and report back to the Rigellians.

[edit] Powers

The Rigellians have a psionic ability called a "mind thrust" which allows them to seize control over an individual's mind. Rigellians are also able to increase their own density mentally, which makes them stronger and less prone to physical injury.
