A trading partner of the Colonies, but not actually allied to them militarily. The world is a long way from the Colonies, so usually contact is via Colonial transport instead of Orion traders coming to the Colonies. Their money is accepted within the Colonial Worlds, and they can trade almost any sort of good or manufactured product. Orion is also one of the largest gambling dens around, catering for many species, and also a major manufacturing base. It is also a very popular holiday destination for those Colonials wishing to get away from it all, Orion being about as far removed from the war with the Cylons as you can get and still be in charted space.
