The Rigellians, formerly known as Bodas, were one of the many races native to the Rigel system. They were a grey-furred and prehensile-tailed species inhabiting Rigel IV. They had a reputation as master traders, and controlled much of the trade within the Rigel system through the Rigellian Trade Authority.
