Orion

The ethnic Orions are a dexterous, Green,Ruddy and Grey skinned species resembling, but not directly related to, Humans. Much of what “everyone knows” about the Orions is a result of a few popular melodramas featuring Orion Pirates with an Orion “slave girl” somewhere in the cast. As a result, many believe that Orion women are all sexy slave girls and all Orion men are rakish pirates. However, most Orion women are housewives and mothers or choose to have a career;most Orion men follow respectable careers and come home to their children each night.Orions who are more charismatic than the norm (and who also have less moral difficulty rearranging the wealth so that it comes to them) frequently seem to step naturally into the role of Orion Pirate. “Orion slave girl” is a highly paid profession with specific training needed for the person who wishes to be in that class. In no way is it slavery.

Green Orions


Their external physical characteristics were close to those of humans, though their features tended towards aquiline noses and sharp chins. However, Orion physiology and copper-based blood chemistry were more similar to that of a Vulcan, with skin tones ranging from emerald to dark olive greens,due to both their copper blood and the chlorophyll in their skin cells. This green skin darkened in strong sunlight.

Black was the most common eye-color, followed by lighter shades of green. Some Orions had very different eye colors: blue, brown, gold, yellow, even pink and silver. Orion women could have very distinctive bright blue eyes.

Grey Orion Traits

Grey Orions

Grey Orions were a humanoid species related to the Green Orions and Ruddy Orions, but they tended to be shorter, slighter, quite frail and much weaker than their racial cousins, and less charismatic, but also a little more dexterous and great deal more intelligent.

Their numbers were low, making up only 20% of the Orion population. Their primary difference was their coloration, with skin ranging from a light gray to a charcoal black. In strong sunlight, this would tan with a deep metallic hue. Grey Orions made up the Scientist Caste in the Old Orion Empire.

Ruddy Orions

Tending to be slender, some quite delicate and very rarely fat. By Human standards, their features were often considered pleasing, even beautiful. Ruddy Orion skin was sensitive to strong sunlight, such as that from Rigel, which could deepen their color or cause a purple burn. Their eye colors varied from a deep sea-blue to violet and an occasional black. Their hair was fine and thin, particularly among men, and could range through all shades of grey, from pure white to a deep, metallic blue-black.
