Chelon


 * This page features the Rigellian Chelons. You may also be looking for the Vulcanoid Rigellians, or the species known as the Rigelians.

The Chelons (or Rigellians) are a sentient race from the planet Rigel IV. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek: Vanguard)

They were descended from a race of saber-toothed turtles who learned to walk upright. They ranged in height from about 1.75 meters to 2 meters or more.

Rigellians had attendants who served, fed, and cared for them. This gave the attendants the real power in Rigellian society. They only had one gender and reproduced by laying eggs.

When worn, their armor served a mainly ceremonial function.
