- "These people, these Chirq Council or whatever they call themselves, are experimenting with some new heavy weapon prototypes. You seen what the ones we already have can do, right? Spew lava all over the place. Or acid. Things like that. Not exactly environmentally friendly. So I aim to stop these people from making even worse versions."

Jaalib Rigel was a Human male environmentalist who lived on Corellia during the time of the Galactic Civil War.[1]
Biography[]
- "Shhhh! There's usually a guard directly above us. Keep your voice low. Okay, if you're here to help me, than I'm grateful. Otherwise, be on your way and let me figure out my next move."
- ―Jaalib Rigel, to a spacer
After the Battle of Yavin, Jaalib Rigel discovered that the criminals of the Chirq Council were developing heavy weapon prototypes in the Second Elite Council Bunker, near the city of Doaba Guerfel. The man was concerned because those weapons would be very dangerous for the Corellian environment.[1]
In 1 ABY,[2] Captain Vitala Baize of the Corellian Security Force started an operation against the Chirq Council to destroy the organization and thus assaulted the First and Second Elite Council Bunkers.[3] Jaalib Rigel encountered the CorSec agents near the Second Elite Council Bunker before their assault and requested them to deal with the weapons. An independent spacer who regularly worked for the CorSec agreed and then destroyed all the prototypes of each of the three experimental heavy weapon types.[1] Eventually, the Chirq Council splintered after the Chirq Council elite councilors were killed by the CorSec during the attacks of the Elite Council Bunkers.[3]

Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit — Quest: "Destroy the Chirq Council Experimental Heavy Weapons" on Corellia
- ↑ According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
