TOS generic planet 3

The Enterprise orbiting Rigel XII

Rigel XII was a H-class world and the twelfth planet in the Rigel system. Conditions on the planet were harsh, and habitation was only possible in sealed pressure domes. Grit and dust were everywhere, and sandstorms were a frequent occurrence. The conditions were especially bad during a magnetic storm. Water was scarce, and plant life was twisted and sere.
