[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I believe the Encyclopedia has a single reference to planet/star Orion, presumably from DS9, but I forget what it is. By tomorrow we'll know... Of course, since there is no planet/star Orion currently in existence, it could be that the Trek location lies nowhere near the constellation or nebula of that name, and just a) is coincidentally named the same way or b) falls on the line between Earth and Orion. While the Orion syndicate no doubt is a multispecies organization (as we saw in "Honor Among Thieves"), TAS valiantly tries to say that there is a green-skinned race of Orions where the stereotypical male is a pirate and the female is a slave. But even if we accept that as canon, it doesn't mean there couldn't be other "Orion races" as well. And the green skin of the known Orions could be something like Yakuza tattoos - an indication of social or crime-organizational status. Perhaps you get greened when you become a slave or a pirate (which may even be the same thing to some extent), but purpled if you are an important boss person... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
