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.
