 * Rigl VII: Rigel VII was the seventh planet in the Rigel star system. In 2254, Captain Christopher Pike brought the crew of the USS Enterprise to Rigel VII on shore leave. While there, they became embroiled in a coup perpetuated by the planet's warrior caste, the Kaylars. Captain Pike fought up against one of the Kaylars, but several officers, including his own Yeoman, Dermot Cusack were killed. Several more were gravely injured. Shortly thereafter, Pike became a prisoner of the telepathic Talosians on Talos IV. The Talosians created an illusion in his mind that he was back on Rigel VII. Attending him was an Earth woman named Vina who appeared in the illusion as a princess. A Kaylar attacked them and Pike fought against it, ultimately killing it when he tricked the Kaylar into falling onto his blade.
