| Background | The Orion Colonies are allegdy neutral toward the Federation in external matters. After acquiring the ability of space flight from Terrestrial visitors, they have built an empire based on the piracy. They tend to encourage these pirates, although on an informal and unofficial basis. Orion pirates and smugglers are still encountered by Federation ships. |
| Editors Notes | Some very Human-like females, are born with green skin, and 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, outlawed at all levels in the Federation. Few Federation Star Fleet personnel have really ever seen an Orion slave female. |
