| abstract | - The Rigel Conferences were a series of negotiations held in the Rigel system between the signatories to the Treaty of Kammzdast, which governed the use and trade of Orion slaves and a proxy warfare system on the their homeworld of Rigel VIII (Botchok). They met to discuss issues related to the Treaty and the Orion slave trade, with 187 conferences held over the course of nearly 16,000 years. They usually resulted in alterations to the treaty, allowing it to change and alter with the passage of time and the involvement of new races in the Orion slave trade and to maintain a general peace around Rigel. The amendments were always small and reluctantly made, and never took away from the power of those who'd enslaved the Orion race. However, the treaty and the conferences gave the Orions the tools to influence their own slavery and eventually end it.
