Chorus line girls — McCoy with two cabaret girls from Rigel II recreated by the Shore Leave Planet

Rigel II was the inhabited second planet of the Rigel system. (TOS: "Shore Leave") Rigel II was located less than ninety light years away from Earth. (ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights")

Lieutenant Commander Leonard McCoy of the Federation starship USS Enterprise once met a pair of scantily clad women in a cabaret chorus line on Rigel II. In 2267, the two women were recreated from Dr. McCoy's imagination on the Shore Leave Planet in the Omicron Delta region. (TOS: "Shore Leave")

Evidence for the statement that Rigel II is less than ninety light years from Earth is specifically that, in "Two Days and Two Nights", the NX-class Enterprise sets a milestone several months after undertaking a mission to Rigel X (which it visits in ENT pilot episode "Broken Bow") by becoming the first Earth ship to travel ninety light years away from the Sol system.

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (pp. 52, 59, "United Federation of Planets I"), Rigel II, also known as Beta Rigel II, was an M-class planet. The planet was a member planet of both the United Rigel Colonies and the United Federation of Planets. Rigel IV was admitted, along with the United Rigel Colonies, to the Federation in 2202.

-The Rigel system cannot be farther away than 90 [[light year]]s, as Archer referred to Risa in {{ENT|Two Days and Two Nights}} as being the farthest away from Earth any Human had gone to that point. This visit to the vacation planet was after Rigel X, a sister planet to Rigel II, had been visited on the ''Enterprise'''s maiden flight.
-==="The Explored Galaxy"===
-This chart was first seen, chronologically, in [[2293]]. ({{film|6}}) This chart was also seen in several ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episodes set in the [[24th century]], from the year [[2364]] to [[2370]]. These were: {{TNG|Conspiracy|The Measure Of A Man|The Emissary|The Mind's Eye|The Game}} and {{DS9|In the Hands of the Prophets|Cardassians}}.
-===''[[Star Trek: Star Charts]]''===
-Rigel II, or Beta Rigel II, was a [[Class M]] planet. The planet was a member planet of both the United Rigel Colonies and the United Federation of Planets. Rigel II was admitted, along with the United Rigel Colonies, to the Federation in [[2202]].
-Beta Rigel was located in or near Federation space, in the [[Beta Quadrant]]. The star was named Beta Rigel by Earth astronomers for its perceived proximity to Beta Orionis. The primary, Beta Rigel, was a spectral class [[Star Trek: Star Charts#Spectral classification|A5V]] star with an absolute [[magnitude]] of 6.2. There were 10 planets in this system, and four of them were classified as Class M. In the mid-[[22nd century]], Beta Rigel was a destination on the Vulcan space lanes. In [[2151]], the {{EnterpriseNX|name}} visited this system on its maiden voyage. Over two centuries later, in the late [[24th century]], Beta Rigel was a destination on the major space lanes.
