After the destruction of the Orion Syndicate, a major reform similiar to an incident on Earth in 2011 occurred when the citizens of Orion stood up and demanded an end to the reign of what was later determined to be a corrupt administration that had reduced the home world to near poverty levels while the President and several key members of the Cabinet reallocated assets for personal use and monetary gain. No violence broke out under a wave of Orion citizens marching on the capital city, where a three month hold out resulting in a break of the Orion military and goverment employees who joined the protest and effectively "outed" then President M'Voust, who held out for six weeks before being removed from power. | After the destruction of the Orion Syndicate, a major reform similiar to an incident on Earth in 2011 occurred when the citizens of Orion stood up and demanded an end to the reign of what was later determined to be a corrupt administration that had reduced the home world to near poverty levels while the President and several key members of the Cabinet reallocated assets for personal use and monetary gain.

==Society & Hierarchy== | |||
The Orions have a unique social structure due to the facade and reality they maintain between the male and female species. Historically (within canon), Orion females have been referred to as inferior when the reality of the civilization and structure of their species and civilization reveals the female Orion is the master while the presentation of the Orion male (usually bald, whereas females may have black, brown, or red hair, or combination thereof - blond hair is considered a inferior gene within Orion society and most children who inherit blond hair do not survive adolescence as it's considered an unattractive and "weak" colour. | |||
The breakdown of the Orion hierarchy is as follows: | |||
* The Alpha Female: often depicted as a slave girl, but usually the commanding officer of the associated ship (ship classes and technology are not available as of yet). They range in height, anywhere between five to six feet. Carnal and seductive, with a powerful pheromone similar to the [[Deltan|Deltans]], they use their sensuality and sexuality to their advantage. | |||
* Slave Males: They will be presented in roles of leadership as a means of deception, usually taller (between six and seven feet) and much more muscular than a Terran male. They are always bald (they are required to shave their hair completely from their bodies). They do not possess the pheromones, but they do extrude a level of testosterone which has been reported to affect females of various races ([[Vulcan|Vulcans]] are immune to the Orion pheromones). The Orion female pheromones do affect the male physiology at the adrenalin level, causing sharp increases to incense aggression, and instill a sense of control to sustain the belief they are in control and in charge. | |||
* Slave Females: There is a class of Orion women who are designated as slaves, of which the Orion Syndicate was founded on in the trafficking of passive Orion females to and from the home world during their incarnation. They are docile, usually submissive and surrender themselves without a moment of doubt or thought to their Master, of which they have either been sold to, or are under training. | |||
