Orion (Warship VOY)

The Orion or Orions as they are more commonly known are a warrior Matriarchal society based species that live on Orion 1 within Orions Belt within the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Appearance
Most Orions while having a generally human appearance their main difference is skin coloration. The majority of Orions have varying tones Green and olive skin pigmentation however an older male Orions skin begins to fade into a light bluish-green shade as well as a pronounced ridged nose bridge.

Gender
Orions are in basic male and female genders however in 2372 genetic experimentation began for the inclusion of 1st female Bajorian genes into the female Orion genome for the possibility of making procreative insemination universally possible for both genders in order to further the physical equality of all Orions.

Sexual Control
Orion Women are born with an unique genetic trait a higher concentration of super-pheromones the naturally occurring series of hormones that control both Sexual attraction and function. This unique system is so well controlled that the release of these natural chemicals can be emitted at will, it is due to this high level of control that Orion females have evolved past the need for a menstruation cycle unlike many other species. It is mainly due to this natural process that Orion females have complete sexual control and domination over both the male and female of this and many other species. However while the excretion of these hormones are easily tolerated and even exchanged by other Orions many other species (mainly Human males) cannot except such high levels of chemicals without overloading their nervous and reproductive systems. However Human females appear to accept and tolerate these pheromones far more easily by comparison.

Society and Culture
Unlike most contemporary societies within the Alpha Quadrant or even many considered more primitive societies Orion society and Culture seem to exist on a seemingly odd opposite parallel to any known culture. While all of Orion society is fully controlled by an totally Female dominant society it appears to be centrally based on male sexist (or chauvinist) beliefs and practices which are strictly enforced by Orion females themselves.

Primary Basis of Matriarchal Societal Structure
Mainly due to the before mentioned pheromone control it is a commonly known phrase among Orion female society that "Sex is Power" so it is mainly based on this maxim that Orion women strongly believe that they should sexually objectify themselves both to Orion males and each other. It is because of this self objectification however that Orion Women are able to easily garner a large amount of power both for themselves and their own families.
