Orion Empire

The term Orion Empire can refer to any number of empires and political states which arose in various periods of Orion ancient history, often centered around the Rigel systems. These empires were long gone by the modern era, and in the 23rd and 24th centuries, replaced by a mostly apolitical collection of worlds known as the Orion Colonies or Orion Congeries, which were more or less a front for the criminal organization called the Orion Syndicate.
