Orions

First Contact with the Federation: No data avalible

Home planet: Orion
Planet class: M
Name of the system: Rigel

The dominant species of Orions have skin color ranging from ruggy, golden orange to the skin tones of Terran Caucasians. Some very Human-like females, however, are born with green skin. Said to be less intelligent of the dominant Orions (tough this may be more lack of educational opportunity than from genetics they behave in a semi-animalistic fashion. They usually have long, sharp claws and a greater physical dexterity than the dominant Orions. Green-skinned Orion females are held in semi-slavery by Orion males. They are extremely seductive, with legend holding that human males cannot resist them. Transport of Slave women beyond the neutral Orion planets is prohibited and, of course, slavery is outlawed at all levels on the Federation. Few Federation Star Fleet personnel have really ever seen an Orion slave female. Orion pirates and freebooters are sometimes encountered by Federation vassels.
Government: The Orion Colonies are allegdy neutral toward the Federation in external matters. They tend to encourage privateers (pirates), however, on an informal and unofficial basis, and Orion pirates and smugglers are sometimes encountered.
