Rigg
proceduralist
risk-averse
morally fatigued
compliant under duress
Captain Rigg commands the Imperial starship Empress with proceduralism masking risk aversion. His leadership prioritizes regulatory compliance over crew safety, demonstrated when he dismisses Mandrel attacks on passengers as divine judgment while calling economy-class travelers expendable. Under institutional pressure, Rigg responds to arrest with passive resignation—first to Fisk’s coercion, then to Costa’s threats—revealing a man hollowed out by systemic overreach. His rigid adherence to protocol fails to justify his command, collapsing under moral fatigue rather than external threat.
