Rygel XVI
While serving time on the Leviathan ship known as Moya, Rygel managed to bribe a guard and acquire the security codes to the detention cells. He freed fellow prisoners Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan and Ka D'Argo and together they succeeded in taking control of the ship and escaped from the Peacekeepers.

During this incident, the crew of Moya found themselves with two unexpected and uninvited passengers; the first being the Earth human John Crichton and the other being a Prowler pilot named Aeryn Sun. Like the rest of the crew, Rygel had no reservation about expressing his hatred of Peacekeepers and he was not particularly fond of Crichton either. He showed his distate for Crichton by spitting in his face moments after meeting him.

Due to his short stature, Rygel was often selected to perform duties that required access to cramped areas. He was forced to crawl into Moya's neural nexus in order to disengage a Paddac beacon that was broadcasting a signal to the Peacekeepers. A short time later, Rygel was scurrying through the underbelly of the ship where he discovered an infestation of parasitic Draks using one of Moya's chambers as a nest.
