Rigel VI was the inhabited sixth planet in the Rigel system.
A display showing Rigel VI
In a commercial for Tribbles cereal, Rigel VI was shown on a computer screen of a food synthesizer in the mess hall of the USS Ravenous. It was listed along with other locations such as Earth, Vulcan, Izar, Andoria, Tellar, Cestus, and Rigel X. (ST: "The Trouble with Edward", credit cookie)
In 2401, when Jean-Luc Picard and William T. Riker recalled a USS Enterprise-D mission to Rigel VII that led to the development of the Myriad encryption codec, Riker initially misremembered the planet as Rigel VI. (PIC: "The Next Generation")
This planet was only mentioned in writing.
