Orion was an Alliance battleship of the Third Battleship Division, formerly commanded by Captain Numos during the Alliance-Syndicate War. After the vessel's return to Alliance space, it came under the command of Captain Shen during the exploration of enigma, Kick, and Dancer space.
History of service[]
Orion was involved in the First Battle of Prime and survived the initial ambush and battle. Orion and the Third Battleship Division survive the escape from Prime, and participate in the campaign back to Allience space, but Captain Numos and Orion mutiny along with several other ships under command of Captain Falco but later survive the ordeal that claims several battleships and battlecruisers.
Orion later makes it back to Varandal, and participates in the resulting battles in alien space under a new commander, Shen. While Admiral Geary is impressed with Orion and Shen, both are lost during the flight back to Varandal when Orion collides with several Syndic ships while protecting the auxiliaries.
