The Orions (Ur'eon or Kolari) were humanoids from the Beta Quadrant. The Planets Botchok, Kolar in the Rigel system, and Vondem in the Pi-3 Orionis system were all claimed as their original homeworld. They were loosely formed into a collection of settlements known as the Orion Syndicate.
Captain Richard D. Givens, at the time a lieutenant, visited an Orion planet in 2432 for shore leave and apparently spent his time with a slave girl.
History[]
Around 1547 the Orions were a peaceful race where males and females lived in harmony, but in 1605, the males began oppressing females. This led to females developing genetic enhancements, which eventually allowed them to seduce males of numerous species. After 35 years, all Orion females were able to seduce the males with pheromones their bodies naturally produced.
Centuries later Orions evolved into a modern space faring species with off world colonies as far as the outskirts of the Beta Quadrant. By the late 21st century a epidemic only known as the "Great Plague" spread across the Orion homeworld and its off world territories. Orion society had to change from traders and traffickers to a more advanced Medical based technocratic union.
Large fleets of Medical frigates were launched to treat their aling colonies.
Biology[]
The Orions lived on a planet orbiting a blue-white star, supposedly they evolved to a green-tinted skin that keeps them relatively immune to the stars radiation.
