END OF BRIEFING

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.

The Orion Diaspora is historically broken up into three major events, but exile and immigration from the home planet was sporadically constant throughout the timeline. It accelerated in the Third Wave as Orion's Ice Age set in and more wealthy Caju began to flee.

Precipitating Events

Climate Change

Resource Wars

Social Strife

Extreme Wealth Divide

"Vandi" Contact

Orions have legends of previous alien contacts just as many other civilizations do. But the first recognized, modern Orion contact with alien intelligence took place as Orion was grappling with "dirty fusion" as a power source. The species they contacted is unknown- and it most certainly contacted them. The Orions labeled them as "Vand" or "Vandi" - "foreign." The records have long since been obscured by 2,000 centuries of time, but it is likely that these aliens sought trade and resource exploitation from the Orions, and these aliens did not practice any kind of Prime Directive or hands-off approach to prewarp contact.
