Editing Orion (section)

==[[Star Trek]]==
The iconic Green Slave Alien race. First seen in the first pilot episode of Star Trek, "The Cage," we don't learn much about Orions for a long time. Eventually we learn that Orions are basically space pirates and slavers, the women all being beautiful and the men almost always shown being as big, bald and brutish. In later series of Trek it is revealed that despite previous beliefs that the Orion women are actually in charge of things (despite being slaves) because they emit pheromones that make men far more susceptible to their manipulations.

Starting with Star Trek: Lower Decks, there is now an Orion main character named D'Vana Tendi. Through her we learn that Orion culture is starting to change, with at least some Orions giving up the piracy and slavery. It is also stated that Tendi doesn't have pheromones capabilities and that some Orions just don't.

In the [[Star Trek Adventures]] RPG, Orions are playable and get a bonus to their Daring, Fitness and Presence attributes and the option to pick two Orion specific talents, "Criminal Understanding" (add a d20 to the dice pool roll when trying to decipher a hidden message focused on intrigue or guile) and "That Wasn't Me" (gain Momentum when you win someones trust). They also mention the Orion pheromones but there is no specific rules, merely a guideline that both male and female Orions have it but male pheromones are not as potent.
