[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [QUOTE] *Which* Orions? Any of the Rigellians? The green slave girls maybe? :cool: I thought the term 'Orion Syndicate' just indicated a multi-species organisation based on one of the planets from the Orion belt (or has there ever been a direct reference to a planet named 'Orion'?) Correct me if I'm wrong though. [/QUOTE]I always thought that the Orion Syndicate was the Orion equivelant (loosely) of the Federation...as in an alliance or collection of a shady groups of individuals and species organized presumably by the Orions (the "Green Skinned" people), who themselves are an individual political entity. We saw Orion slave girls and Orion terrorists in TOS (The Cage, Whom Gods Destroy, and The Journey to Babel), Orion Pirates in TAS (The Pirates of Orion), and then we heard of the Orion Syndicate in DS9 (The Ascent, Honor Among Thieves, Prodigal Daughter). As a whole they have been hinted at quite significantly, but never given half the attention you would expect, as they are indeed one of the original species Trek ever created...a la "The Cage". I, personally, think the [b]Orions[/b] deserve the same treatment as the Andorians have gotten...and not to sound like a broken record, the same with the [b]Tellarites[/b]. When it really comes down to it, they could add these two species easily, as well as continue with the [b]Tholians[/b] and [b]Andorians[/b], <u>leave the [b]Romulans[/b] alone for the next 3 years</u> and <u>forget the [b]Klingons[/b] altogether</u> and there is certainly enough material here to work with to create some gold, true to a prequel. :) Instead of our consistant run-ins with species and technologies and prison ships that have no place in [i]Enterprise[/i].
