History:
This Vessel, resembling sections of several Starfleet Vessels from the 22nd Century, was one of the main Pirate Vessels of the older period, before the main, regular array of mostly 2-nacelled vessels were developed, this mono-naceller being potent for a smaller vessel, and with some modular storage areas and camauflauged hatches.
The last three were reported in 2279, and one of them, captured by a Larson-Class Destroyer sold to the AOFW, was put into the New New Aberdeen Starflight Museum in 2282.

Ed Note: The Class Name is Orion for a Ceramic Sculpture of a meditating Wind Nymph.

Noteworthy Vessels/Encounters: Riordan; - duelled with USS Ahkeil and USS Nome (2252), Destroyed by USS Brenda (2254)
