The Orions originated on the planet Orion in the Alpha Quadrant. As a species they had green skin and dark hair, while culturally they had a history of both great civilisation and ruthless trade syndicates. Some Orions even engaged in piracy and the slave trade.
Orion names tend to be simple and strong, predominantly using a two-syllable structure (though names with one or three syllables do also occur). Family or clan names don’t have much place in current Orion culture, so most individuals are known by title or a single name alone.
