At a Glance
The Orion Diaspora is a series of immigrations, displacements and exiles which ultimately led to the colonization of the Borderland sectors by Orion civilization. It was not a single, mass event but happened over a series of centuries as the climate-fueled political turmoil on Orion forced poorer Caju to abandon territory that could no longer sustain their numbers, along with forced exiles of minorities and deportations by powerful corporations, influential Caju and an overburdened penal system. While many of the largest migrations were forced (such as the Partreidi Exile), some immigrations were voluntary. The Orions' reasons for leaving their homeworld were as myriad and complex as their species.
