The '''Rigel Corporation''' (Rigel Corp; Chinese: 里格爾集團) is a government-sponsored railway network operator established in 2003. It's main goal is to prevent monopolies in the public transport sector, and put pressure on other railway companies to improve their services.

==History==
====Establishment====
In 2003, the Joban Government conducted a survey on those who commonly commuted to and from Joban, an estimated 5 million trips per day. 

The survey was conducted to find the mode of transport that was most lacking in development and assist it with government subsidies. The survey returned 60% being unhappy about the railroads, citing the constant delays and seemingly arbitrary fares. (See Joestu Line Stage 3)

The Joban Government decided to construct a new line to duplicate and relieve traffic on the Joestu Line between Fuka and Central. This would be handed over to the Rigel Corporation.
