While under the command of Captain Fawcett, ''Rigel'' was assigned to BatCruRon 11, within BatCruDiv 112.<ref name="ND5OC03">[[Orders:Naval Directive 15OC-03]]</ref>

Later, ''Rigel'' had declared her home con to be BetaCon in northeastern Pennsylvania, though the crew are actively seeking additional cons to give their patronage. The crew has a strong history of gaming, at present manifesting as monthly gaming nights and D&D at Captain Vicchitto's home. To augment this, they held monthly virtual ships meetings, of wide and varied topics.
