Orions are a humanoid alien species in the Star Trek universe. They appeared for the first time in the unaired pilot of Star Trek: The Original Series, The Cage.
Orions originated from the planet Orion, and they are known for their criminal activities, such as piracy, illegal mining and black market exploitation. The females of the species are usually known as "Orion slave girls". Star Trek: Enterprise revealed that the females actually manipulate the males of Orion society through pheromones.
