Tried making an Orion with the new costume pieces since S2, and with the standard Klingon gear, and each time got the character creation failed message. I've only seen one other post on this, so I'm wondering is this real bug, or just something in the game that has not been achieved yet?
So back to the OP... I was able to make 4 Orions successfully - two with the default costume options (male and female), and two with S2 costume options (male and female), albeit the last two costumes were generated by hitting the "randomize" button. No problems getting into the game after submitting application.
Ok I think the problem was I had loaded a costume that I had saved several months ago and then modified from that, rather than creating an all new character and then saving the costume....
Ah, yeah, that bug - an old friend since beta. Should just be able to switch out the offending pieces, or hit "randomize" and rebuild if you're not sure which ones are no longer valid.

I made an Orion with the Alien creator long ago. That means it can't use the new uniforms...
That's cause your a Fed.... suck it up....
It's not a Fed. It's a Klingon Defense Force character.
Then it's not an Orion; it's an alien that looks like an Orion.
It isnt hard to make an Orion though is it..
1: Make a muscly/sexy human
2: Make them Green
No, it's an Orion. Just like my "Alien" Cardassian is a Cardassian. My "Alien" half Bajoran half Vulcan is half Bajoran and half Vulcan.
An alien is an alien...not a true Orion. It doesn't have the Orion trait either.
Many people made an alien "Orion" to avoid the trait. Now many are thinking they did it wrong.
