The Orion system, a star system originally designated by human astronomers as Ross 614 B[1] located in Sector 452, also called the Orion Sector. It is a part of the Earth Alliance and home to Earth Colony 3, and is located 13.36 light years from Earth.[2] There are at least seven planets in the system, two of which are officially inhabited[3][4]
Notable Locations[]
- Orion I
- Orion II
- Orion III
- Orion IV
- Orion V
- Orion VI
- Orion VII
- Earth Colony 3: An Earth Alliance colony. At 12:05 on April 3, 2251 Charles Dexter's sentence of Death of personality was carried out at Earth Colony 3.[5]
Note[]
- Captain Gideon once stated that Theta 49 is in the Orion Sector, without specifying its star system. Eilerson responded "Orion System... Theta 49... looks incredibly dull." It's unconfirmed whether Theta 49 is in fact in the Orion System within Orion Sector, or if Eilerson misspoke.[6]
