The location of Orion on "The Explored Galaxy" wall chart

Orion was an inhabited planet in the Orion planetary system. This was the homeworld of a warp capable species, the Orions.

Orion once harbored a highly advanced civilization whose history had drawn great interest from Federation historians and archaeologists alike.

During the mid-23rd century, noted Federation archaeologist Doctor Roger Korby translated medical records from the Orion ruins that helped revolutionize modern immunization techniques and were required reading at Starfleet Academy. (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?")

In 2268, Doctor Leonard McCoy claimed that he made a Finagle's Folly that was ...known from here to Orion. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")

In 2269, through the assistance of the Guardian of Forever, Starfleet officers Captain James Kirk, Commander Spock and historian Lieutenant Erickson traveled to the dawn of Orion's civilization to view the planet's history unfold firsthand. (TAS: "Yesteryear")

Devna, an Orion trapped in Elysia, told Kirk that she wished to return through the time barrier and see Orion again. Kirk offered to take her back with him, but she declined, stating that she had accepted where she now was in life. (TAS: "The Time Trap")

In 2372, Ferengi entrepreneur Quark attempted to smuggle kemocite on a highly-profitable side trip to Orion under the guise of taking his ship, Quark's Treasure, on a test flight to Earth. This proved to be unsuccessful due to sabotage. (DS9: "Little Green Men")

Star Trek: Star Charts

The Orion (or Pi 3 Orionis) system was located in the Beta Quadrant. This was a trinary star system. Orion A was a Class F star with a magnitude of +3, which was ten times the brightness of Sol. Orion B and Orion C were Class F stars. In 2120, this was a destination on the final voyage of Zefram Cochrane. In the mid-22nd century, this system was in non-aligned space, and was in proximity of the Vulcan trade routes. In the late 24th century, this system was located in or near Federation space, and this system was a destination on the major space lanes. (pgs. 36, 45, 60)
