The Orion Provincial Senate was an Orion governing body over the Orion Colonies, part of the Botchok Planetary Congress. It was created on March 7th, 1132 CE (reference stardate -9/5404.30) by Emperor Renat the Old, in an effort to bring rebellious and seceded Colonies back under BPC control. The Senate was unpopular and most Colonies refused to even send delegates. It lasted for only five sparse sessions. (FASA RPG module: The Orions: Book of Common Knowledge)
