Orion (the Hunter) is a prominent constellation, perhaps the best known of the sky. Its bright stars visible from both hemispheres make this constellation is recognized universally (visible during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere summer). Orion is located near the constellation Eridanus River and supported by his two hunting dogs Canis Minor Canis Maior and fighting with the constellation Taurus.

  • This vast region of outer space is the location of the Orion Territory, where outlaws are in control, and consider anything good to be illegal. The natives of the Orion Territory live in a society that resembles the culture of the Old West.
  • The Orion Complex was located in the Orion constellation (TOS - Star Trek 2 novelization: Operation -- Annihilate!), while the region of space known as the Orion Arm was closely related (FASA RPG module: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge). In FASA RPG sources, the term "Orion Arm" is used in a context that implies a much smaller region of space than the Orion Arm known to astronomy. Given the name, description, and inclusion of Rigel, this is likely to be some part of the Orion constellation.
