Jaalib Rigel was a male Human environmental advocate residing on Corellia during the Galactic Civil War era.
Following the Battle of Yavin, Jaalib Rigel learned that the criminals belonging to the Chirq Council were in the process of developing prototype heavy weaponry within the Second Elite Council Bunker, situated close to the city of Doaba Guerfel. He was deeply concerned because the weapons posed a significant hazard to Corellia's environment.
In 1 ABY, Captain Vitala Baize of the Corellian Security Force initiated an operation aimed at dismantling the Chirq Council, which involved raiding both the First and Second Elite Council Bunkers. Prior to their assault, Jaalib Rigel encountered the CorSec agents near the Second Elite Council Bunker and implored them to address the weapon development. An independent spacer, a frequent collaborator with CorSec, agreed to the request and subsequently destroyed all prototypes of the three experimental heavy weapon types. Ultimately, the Chirq Council dissolved following the deaths of its elite councilors at the hands of CorSec during the Elite Council Bunker raids.
Jaalib Rigel appeared as a non-player character within the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game created by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts, before its servers were shut down on December 15, 2011. Jaalib Rigel was integrated into the game via the "Chapter 1: The Corellian Captives" update, which was released on June 8, 2006.
