FASA: The Orions

There's been very little information about the Orions and most of it is contradictory. What I want to know is do the Orions have a centralized government? According to Star Trek Death Count by L.A. Graf they do. Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates also says they do and that they are members of the Federation. However, several internet sources imply that the Orions are just a loose grouping of colonies, societies and criminal organizations.

If anyone has the FASA Orions supplement, could they please tell me what it says on the subject.

IIRC, FASA's Orions books suggested that, yes, the Orion Colonies did have a centralized government, but that the Orions in general only paid attention to them when it served their own interests.

I could be remembering incorrectly, though...

A quick search of the boards with the often underused search feature turns up:
