Hi, so my main is federation and I picked alien from the character creator to try and make an Orion. So far, pretty much so good. I like RP'ing but I don't know much about star trek and especially the Orions. I've looked at the STO and Memory Alpha wiki articles on Orions but there's not much there except discussion about matriarchy, piracy and pheromones. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of more information on sort of... what the state of the Orion race is within STO. Maybe even give me some suggestions on key points to put in her backstory so it's more plausible that she ended up federation because I hear federation Orions are really rare in the series history?

Thanks. :)

    Hey there, I did a quick search, and I'm sure you've probably come across this site, or at the very least, have seen a lot of this info, but just in case you haven't;

    http://www.sto-rp.com/vb_threads/668829

    There's a brief summary of their state of play in STO;
    DS9: Orion operations suffer so much during the Federation's expansion that by the late 24th century, they become directly antagonistic to the Federation. Orions in this era not only engage in smuggling right under the nose of Starfleet officials but also engineer important assassinations, all in an attempt to influence Federation policy. When the Dominion War breaks out, the Orions remain low-key - regardless of who wins, there will always be a black market.
    STO: Since their homeworld in the Rigel system had been depleted of resources, Syndicate leader Melani D'ian opened negotiations of assistance with the Breen Confederacy and the Klingon Empire, finally joining the latter as an ally. Dragged into the escalating conflict between the Empire and the Federation, the Orions extend their influence into the Great Klingon Houses whilst simultaneously striking back at the Federation.

    Hope this helps!
