Rigellians Aliens and Other Races
The Rigellians are a race of humanoids who originated on the fourth planet in the Rigel system and have colonized a large interstellar empire. Rigel IV is a world with a gravity and atmosphere very close to Earth, and the Rigellians have tended to colonize similar worlds.
Rigellians are naturally psionic. They possess two natural psionic powers – the ability to control another being's mind, and the ability to take control of another being's arms or legs – and many Rigellians develop other psionic abilities; the most common are telepathic in nature.
The Rigellians have managed to avoid getting involved with the various wars between the other major interstellar powers: the Charter Confederation, the Kree Empire, the Skrull Empire, and the Shi'ar Empire. They are not as militaristic as the other races, but don't take the rights of a world's native species into consideration when colonizing a world.
So far, the only Rigellian to have visited Earth is Tana Nile, who attempted to claim Earth for the Rigellian Annex until Dr. Richards of the Fantastic Four pointed out that the Skrulls and Kree have made similar claims on the planet.
First Post-Reboot Appearance: FANTASTIC FOUR #
Game-Mechanic Details:
The Rigellians possess a native TL 11^, with the standard space opera superscience technologies (gravity manipulation, FTL stardrives, FTL communications, FTL sensors, and force shields) plus monowire and ranged neural weapons. They are advanced in psionic technologies, giving them effective TL 12^ in those regions, but lack mature nanotechnology.
In a cosmic campaign, the campaign's base TL would also be TL 11^, so the Rigellian racial package would be reduced by 15 points.
