The vulcanoid Rigelians are indistinguishable from their [[Vulcan]] and [[Romulan]] counterparts, as they are a splinter society from the two. To avoid confusion for others, officers may shave their heads or grow facial hair. | The vulcanoid Rigelians are indistinguishable from their [[Vulcan]] and [[Romulan]] counterparts, as they are a splinter society from the two.

Unlike their vulcanoid kin, the Rigelians do not repress their emotions, lack the discipline common to both Romulans and Vulcans, and aren't afraid to look foolish, making them somewhat similar to [[Human]]s. Rigelian children do not undergo the deep studying that Vulcan children faced and even made physical displays of affection to their parents. In fact, the Rigelians are noted to be culturally more similar to the Romulans, but they are not as warlike and lack the restrictive aspects of that society. | Unlike their vulcanoid kin, the Rigelians do not repress their emotions, lack the discipline common to both Romulans and Vulcans, and aren't afraid to look foolish, making them somewhat similar to [[Human]]s.

Where Vulcans controlled their violent urges by suppressing emotion and Romulans surrendered to them, the Rigelians instead expended their energies with physical exertion. When a Rigelian was upset, they typically either fought or engaged in sexual encounters. This leads them to experience the grief frenzy, such as when mourning the death of loved one, in which they fight another until the frenzy burns out the grief. It is possible to hire another to battle for this purpose. | Where Vulcans controlled their violent urges by suppressing emotion and Romulans surrendered to them, the Rigelians instead expended their energies with physical exertion.
