Not much is known regarding the Orion home world and its political mechanisms.

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 government employees who joined the protest and effectively "outed" then President M'Voust, who held out for six weeks before being removed from power. | ||

Some female Orions express a pheromone similar which can have powerful effects on their own and other species. These pheromones affect the Orion male physiology at the adrenal level, causing sharp increases to aggression. Males of most species will suffer from similar effects to Orion males, being accelerated metabolisms and raised adrenaline production - they may also be susceptible to suggestion. The pheromones effect is cumulative - the longer one is exposed, the more pronounced the results will be. It should be noted that the effects differ species to species; | |||

Blond hair on an Orion is considered a inferior gene, with many finding it unattractive and a "weak colour". Most children who inherit hair either chemically change their hair colour, or else do not survive adolescence in Orion societies. | Blond hair on an Orion is considered a inferior gene, with many finding it unattractive and a "weak colour".

Orions are also known for a blend of tea - though it's considered to be particularly expensive on [[Risa]].<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-vigilant/UOyaJZ0uuVc/1j6L3S_o9IMJ ''"I'd Even Settle for Real Housewives of Prak Zel"''], CPO P.Sodan, {{USS|Vigilant}}, SD 239103.03</ref> | |||
Though not as common as they once were, The Orion have clan like social groups where an older Orions, usually called a Matron, instructs the young maidens under their wing in the ways of their people. It was considered a sign of class to have been trained under a Matron and to earn the right to wear the tattoo. Though each clan trained their own way, it usually centered around the ideals of balancing their open nature and avoiding being taken advantage of by others. One common thread is a phrase that many Orions swear to: ''"We shall respect those who respect us, persuade those who need guidance, and manipulate those who use us. We are subservient to no one."''<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-constitution/c/X4GW8PeAYdg/m/EzISZHuTAwAJ "To Be Orion"], PNPC Chief Petty Officer Shedet, USS Constitution-B, 239801.27</ref> | |||

Orion culture is steeped in many traditions both written and unwritten. One such tradition that is embraced by many is '''koledru venari'''. Koledru venari is the belief summed up in the phrase "A gift for a gift". It is the belief that when one asks for help, it is given to the fullest extent but that person now owes a gift in return for whenever or however the gifter needs it. Humans have the equivalent of "quid pro quo" but for Orion culture, it is seen as a positive thing and not with a negative connotation.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-constitution/c/cwkqYEhGDXg/m/nOqrvKC4DQAJ "Confessions"], Chief Petty Officer Shedet - Confessions, 239904.25</ref>. | |||
Turning their back on such things can get an Orion excommunicated or becoming Chuldav'ai or "Outcast" <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-constitution/c/0kStWerldp0/m/3iyQ2WNAAgAJ "The Decision"], Chief Petty Officer Shedet - The Decision, 239906.07 </ref>. | |||

In 2390 during an undercover mission undertaken at the behest of [[Federation Security]], the crew of the {{USS|Drake}} discovered a reborn version of the Orion Syndicates. Using both their own strength and that of Gorn mercenaries, the Syndicate re-took a former stronghold called Port Royale, in the dangerous Vale of Saoirse. It is presumed that the Syndicate remains entrenched in the Vale and that the Federation will soon be hearing from them again. | In 2390 during an undercover mission undertaken at the behest of [[Federation Security]], the crew of the {{USS|Drake}} discovered a reborn version of the Orion Syndicates.

Over the proceeding ten years since the reemergence, [[Starfleet Intelligence]] has found that the new Syndicate is not the return of what had been referred to as the Orion Cartels, an organization that had divided up the galaxy between factions but a more unified body functioning as a coherent unit. Data shows that the merger has not been completely accepted as the old cartels followed many traditions and rites in a much more ceremonial order. The Cartels always saw themselves as an extension of the home world. The new Syndicate appears to be completely focused as a criminal enterprise shedding much of it's previous traditions.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-constitution/c/PoBAKlu9jw0/m/Z5WsALbKAAAJ""Briefing and Talk of a Past Life"], Cadet Shedet, {{USS|Constitution}}, SD 239810.13</ref> Starfleet Intelligence recommends that all encounters Orion Syndicate understand this duality as an encountered member as such understanding will allow better predictions of actions to be taken. | |||
