The Orion Alliance was a secret rebel organization and shadow government formed by the Orion slaves with the aim of gaining their freedom from the aliens who enslaved them. The Orion Alliance was founded in secret in September 7901 BCE (reference stardate -99/0109), under Chairman Klendal Hanok the Liberator. By whispered word of mouth, news was passed to Orions on every Colony. Its ultimate aim was to liberate the Orion homeworld of Botchok (Rigel VIII) and abolish the Treaty of Kammzdast, which governed the enslavement of the Orion race. Klendal warned, however, that this victory would only come after many generations of patient work, and so subtly that barely anyone would notice.
